The previous night, Caleb was preparing to go to bed and out of the blue he just asked me in a very innocent and earnest voice," Mummy, is Mickey Mouse a monkey?"
I couldn't help but burst out laughing. I thought about it and I have to agree, to a certain extent Mickey with his two big ears sticking out and his life size, does somewhat resemble the cartoon drawings of the monkeys that Caleb has seen.
Well, but I still had to correct my son so I asked him,"Caleb, what do you call Mickey? Mickey...?"
That's when he smiled and said," Mickey... Mouse!" Oh, he's a mouse!"
And we all had a good laugh.
