Monkeying Around

David and John loved climbing the plum tree in the yard outside our basement apartment, but Steven was left out since he wasn't big enough to climb up on his own. However, one fall day when the plums were over-ripe and dropping to the ground, all the boys had fun playing by the tree, squishing and throwing the purple fruit. Later, when I tried washing their clothes, I discovered plum juice is a wonderful, long-lasting dye. I never got those stains out.

As you can see by the picture below, my boys still like climbing trees.
