My world has gone bananas with  a lot of money business....

Last week I was teaching a year 6 class and a student was proudly showing the  scratch game he made with bananas. He asked how he could improve it.  I said you should click and put in monkeys and they say... yum... yum.   It recorded it and sent it to my mum and sisters. 

 I had just received at lunch a text message from my mum and sisters sharing upsetting news about my dad who is currently in Intensive Care in Hospital...

My phone sent that crazy message to them!  

Later I stopped at the petrol station.  The banana lollies were on sale.  2 for 8 $.  Who makes bananas now? ….Life Savers.

So the mindful monkey message when the world has gone 🍌 bananas. 

1. Don’t stay too close to monkey 🙉 cages!

2. See no evil…Speak no evil and hear no evil

3. Raise your vibration with humour or a bit of cheer!

4. It's ok to have comfort food or a funny movie in times of grief
