Five Little Monkeys

We went to the bookstore and got the book Five Little Monkeys for Max. You might remember the book or song...

Five Little Monkeys, jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head,
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
"No more monkeys jumping on the bed!"

Well, Max loved the book at the store. He is a big fan of slapstick humor... he has always cracked up at people falling, even as a baby. He used to watch the big kids sled near our house and just laughed and laughed when they crashed. Anyway, the monkeys in the book falling off the bed are just hilarious to him. But... we didn't realize he had a plan when he went home. As soon as we unlocked the door, he ran to his room and yes, he climbed on his bed, started jumping and then "fell" off and bumped his head (just pretend, of course)! I guess I should have expected that, but honestly I didn't. I'm off to call the doctor...
