Code Monkey not even real toy

This is one from the archives that I never posted, probably from when Anthony was 4 or 5.

Anth: He said "Code Monkey goes to the front desk".
Me: Yup, he did.

Anth: Why is the song called Code Monkey?
Me: Just to be funny.

Anth: Why is the first name of the song Code?
Me: Just to be funny.

Anth: Why is the last name of the song Monkey?
Me: Just to be funny.

Me: Do you like the song?
Anth: I don't like the name. Code Monkeys are not real.
Me: No, they're not real.

Anth: Code Monkeys aren't even real toys!
Me: Nope, they are just pretend for this song.

Anth: Yeah, they're funny.

Honoria: Do you know what Mickey Mouse does?

Me: No.

Honoria: He runs around... fast.

Julia the literalist

We were at the dinner table last night talking about one of our cats going to the vet the next day. Mindy had called to schedule an appointment and they said they could squeeze her in. Mindy mentioned that phrase "squeeze her in" several times.

Julia, a little later in the conversation, stopped us to get clarification, "Excuse me mommy, where are they going to squeeze Molly?"

It took us a minute to register, but really made us laugh. We tried to explain the situation better to our very literal little girl.
