marie, I just said "wow! thanks. how much do I owe you?". Because really, what can you say? She was kind to offer (and she even picked him up because she was driving through my neighborhood), but jeez.
She replied with "it was a little over an hour of work", which I'm guessing means she was expecting more than the $10 I offered, but good gravy.

Omg poor monkey and poor Cal! This is hysterical though. Glad you were able to get a replacement. We had to go buy Lucas a new didi(blanket) today so I understand the feeling of it not being the original

Fwiw, my son is on his EIGHTH Scout and is totally cool with a new one when we have to get one. His first replacement came at about a year old, and I was so worried he wouldn't take to him, but it was no problem at all. (Friends have graciously sent us four of those Scouts, so I've only had to buy four).
Thankfully a new one will be here tomorrow courtesy of Amazon Prime. And the buttons are totally a choking hazard. I don't know WTF this lady was thinking on so many levels.
I should have looked at this woman's FB profile more closely, she's a bit...odd. And apparently a practicing Wicca. Hopefully Franken-Monkey doesn't hex us for replacing him.
I showed this to MH last night and his face when he was scrolling back and forth between the pictures was amazing and I died laughing all over again. He's like "She paid her?!"

Listen, I’m an atheist and think all religions are a load of shit but I don’t feel comfortable saying she’s odd bc she’s a practicing Wiccan. Wiccans don’t believe in hexing things.
You're right. I was joking, but I took it too far. I apologize for the comment.

That is hilarious! But in her defense, there were chunks of material eaten off, so she had to use the felt. She still could have aimed for smaller black buttons and a black nose.

That picture is hilarious. You cannot even try to fool him with that. I had a favorite doll when I was growing up. I carried it around by the hair and it was not pretty. Unfortunately I lost it. My parents bought me a new one. I knew right away it was the wrong one because it looked clean. Eventually the old was found I named them clean dolly and dirty dolly. I had them for a long time.
Why would she use buttons? Aren't they a choking hazard?
Clearly this person has very poor judgment. OP, in regards to your question of what to do with scary monkey, bury it in your backyard and try to forget it even exists.
So it was causing ME emotional turmoil to see monkey so scary (what is wrong with me?), so I attempted to fix his eyes with black thread last night. I am the least crafty person ever, but even this looks better IMO. I'm going to pick up black felt today and attempt a nose job. I have back-up monkey in a box at home, but may see if I can introduce Monkey OG back into the fold once his nose transplant is complete later.
