On Saturday morning I took the Captain to the pool for his swimming lesson in our new van. Later we picked up Sir Monkeypants and Gal Smiley to do a little Christmas shopping.

Once all four of us were in the car, Captain Jelly Belly says this:

“This morning, we were going so fast in the van, Mommy went through a red light!”

Sir Monkeypants said, “Reeeeeeaaally,” while I turned 16 shades of red and knew I was totally busted.

Then the Captain added, “But it’s okay, Daddy, because no police saw us and we didn’t get in trouble.”

And that is wrong in so many ways that I just had to burst out laughing.

Sir Monkeypants said, “Captain, why don’t you listen to Hi-5 while I talk to Mommy for a few minutes.“
