When Lily Morgan shared a witty update on her Facebook, she had no idea it would spark a viral meme frenzy among parents and anyone who appreciates a good laugh. “My partner and I enjoy creating ‘modernized’ nursery rhymes for our baby girl, and I’m really passionate about pro-vaccine advocacy, so it just came together naturally,” Morgan explained. “I initially shared it on my profile, and then others took it to Reddit and Ebaumsworld. That’s when a creative mind named Sam reached out and turned it into the meme that took off.”
Things got even funnier once it hit Reddit, with users adding their own twists to the tale. It went a little something like this:
- Nine little monkeys…
- Eight little monkeys…
- Seven little monkeys…
- Six little monkeys…
- Five little monkeys…
- Four little monkeys…
- Three little monkeys…
- Two little monkeys…
- One little monkey…
This definitely deserves to be illustrated and published! Perhaps it could be titled “Ten Little Monkeys: The Sanctimommy Edition” or “Ten Little Monkeys, As Told By Those Women You Secretly Avoid in Mom Groups.” I would totally buy that!
