The sock monkey

I called to talk to Keegan tonight after we had been disconnected and instead of him answering, Sophie did. She quickly started off a conversation that went like this:

Sophie: "Hi, Mamaw. Wanna talk to the sock monkey?"

Me: "No, I really want to talk to Keegan."

Sophie: "OK, here's the sock monkey talking to you......Hi. I'm the sock monkey, what's your name? What? Your name is Mamaw. My name is just Sock Monkey"......and on and on and on while I found myself talking to a sock, asking to talk to Keegan, who I could hear crying in the background.

Finally, she takes a breath and asks if I want to talk to the Sock Monkey MORE. I tell her no, to please put Keegan on the phone. And with all seriousness she replies,

"OK, but that's too bad, because that was pretty amazing!"
