A Colobus Monkey
Usually when I’m feeling a bit anxious I have the spider dream.
Due to the pre-move stress I expected to be leaping across the bedroom, in the middle of the night, to escape the spiders.
This did not happen. Not to me anyway.
The night before we moved there was a disturbance.
I woke in the night and instantly knew something wasn’t right. I stretched out to discover The Husband missing.
Suddenly the bedroom light was flicked on and there in the corner of the room was The Husband in his pants looking befuddled.
He was befuddled, and I was blind … at 3.04am.
The following morning he told me that he dreamt he was being chased round our bedroom by Colobus Monkeys. He was very precise about the species.
Can you imagine what would happen if the Driver family’s nocturnal behaviour was synchronised … there would be the 4 year old snoring like an old man, the 6 year old screaming like she’s having her leg removed with a rusty butter knife, The Husband being chased by Colobus Monkeys and me scrabbling around on the bed shooing the 100 or so spiders away.

I hate moving, it’s right up there with labor pains for me!!
That’s it. I’m writing to Channel 4 and voting the Drivers as the next subjects of Channel 4′s ‘The Family’.
The world needs to see your awesomeness!
Rookie. Everyone knows when you have the monkey dream, you have to command them to do your EVIL BIDDING, else they will turn on you.
I too am LOLing
Fingers crossed that you don’t all synchronise your freaky bedtime antics, you might have to move AGAIN
LOL-sorry but am lol.
And thanks for actually writing the words to that song-always thought i said douche. lol
It’s official. You’re all mental. Except the Husband, who is quite right to fear monkeys. They’re evil.
I did think of you whilst I was writing this. You and your grumpy ‘I ‘kin hate monkeys’ face
