My (now 23 year old) son received a sock monkey from his 'Nan' when he was 6 months old. That was the first time I had seen one, and I thought it was one of the ugliest things I had seen! Imagine my surprise at my son's instant (and long term) attachment to that 'thing'. I have to hand it to the sock monkey - it survived everything (despite my efforts lol).

That was my reaction to them also. My cousins had one that had to do everything and be everywhere (even sitting down to dinner). I thought he was ugly but now that I am older, I understand Sock Monkey and he does have an unusual appeal. I have a tiny one. I think I will build him a house for fun on a rainy day. A picture of my project would make an interesting blog entry. LOL
