LYDA, IRVING, ELLSWORTH & STEED
LYDA: Born - December 4th. Lyda drives a scooter to and from town everyday. It doesn't matter that right now it's 32 below and snow is covering the ground. Lyda will throw on her Helly Hansen gear, a fur hat, double lined muk-luks and jump on the scooter for a quick ride to town. It actually keeps her quite warm but the scooter is another story. Not built for cold weather it inevitably breaks down and you can see Lyda walking her scooter home...everyday...
IRVING: Born - December 5th. Irving recently graduated from high school and is now enrolled in a course to become a "Cereal Box Author". He will write all the little ads, nutritional boxes and puzzles you see on some of the cereals out there today. I am trying to convince him to write in small print stuff like "this brain numbing crap will also leave you impotent and riddled with cancer". So far I haven't found that on any boxes....but I'm hopeful.
ELLSWORTH: Born - December 6th. Ellsworth. Strong name. BUT, what is he really worth? His weight in gold? Who names their Sock Monkey something like that and doesn't put a "worth" to him? Someone should set that person straight. Where does this person come up with the names? Who is this person? I must get to the bottom of this...
STEED: Born - December 7th. Steed doesn't live here anymore. He was bought by some Neanderthal and given to his children to tear apart at Christmas. Sad end to a Sock Monkey. Poor Steed...
Author's note: Okay, okay, I AM the person who names these monkeys - sometimes badly. The above batch I actually opened the phone book and snitched a bunch of last names. Pretty crafty hey? Oh yeah, Steed wasn't really bought by a Neanderthal silly, they don't celebrate Christmas! HOWEVER, who knows what kids do with their toys, they can be a little rough. Poor Steed...

oo oo! Can you name one of your Sock Monkeys "Jen"... or "Jennifer" (I'm not picky). Can it be a pretty one? :P
