Ok, kid loses monkey, mum puts thread on mumsnet, someone finds him one and posts it. Mum keeps it for Christmas Day and writes a story with it to say that monkey's been helping Santa and his work is now done. Kid is happy, everyone cries. ๐Ÿ˜€

I'm not sure it's quite the same story when you put it down as concisely as that!

ffs, after initially deciding that it was too long to bother reading I changed my mind after reading your concise version emma, thinking it might be interesting after all.

You can image my disappointment when I discovered that it wasn't even a real monkey.

Have to say though in all honesty I am considering changing my username to sparrowfart82, that is simply the best I have ever heard

Reads it ... fails to cry ... wonders if I'm a proper woman (suspect not due to having more bikes than handbags)

Mind you, I'm a sucker for a soppy dog story ...

Knitted helicopters - not cute. Sand Cat kittens - cute.

Baby hekelopters are cute, but fair enough, a baby hedgehog does trump even those.

What the letter from Santa failed to divulge was that stripey monkey had been away so long because he'd got himself into a spot of bother in Thailand.

Hope the parents gave it a good wash before giving it back to little Johnny.
