This is about the funniest thing I’ve ever read.

Boomama and Shannon recently blogged their way through Uganda and brought back absolutely stunning pictures and stories.

I LOVE this post about the night they spent in an “open air” lodge. Here’s a taste of what you must go read in its hilarious entirety:

About fifteen minutes after we opened the door, Shannon sat up on her bed and said, “WHAT ABOUT THE MONKEYS?â€

And I was all, “HUH?â€

And she was all, “THE MONKEYS! WHAT IF MONKEYS COME IN OUR ROOM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT? OUR DOOR IS WIDE OPEN!â€

She made an excellent point.

Now in our defense, Shannon and I were both English majors at our respective colleges. And while I recall taking courses in transformational English grammar and Shakespearean poetry and whathaveyou, I was never required to take a course in How To Stop A Monkey Attack. I doubt that Shannon was, either. So we were both dealing with a pretty limited skill set in terms of How To Combat The Nature.

I love Boomama’s voice here. That girl can write.
