You all know what a binky is, the little object that many babies love to have in their little mouths. My husband Bob, who is fascinated by babies and would love to have three or four of ours in the future, is obsessed with babies who suck on their binkies intently. He calls them binky moongee. Moongee (moon-jee) means “face” in Tamil, his mother tongue. We are both hoping and praying for a few binky moongees that we could call ours. Bob’s dream is to see a binky moongee pressing his or her moongee against the window looking forward to his return to home from work. I really hope that Bob’s dream will come true in the near future.
So cute!

Love this description! I definitely know what a binky is (very west coast, imo). Thanks for the moongee explanation though. 🙂 Good luck!

Hah! So I’m Tamil as well and never read that as ‘face’ but rather ‘mon (as in monday) – and gee (with a hard g)’. Makes so much more sense!

What a sweet way to come up with your blog name! So, are your twins Binky lovers? Mine never took to them for whatever reason, despite us desperately trying a time or two (on long car rides especially).

Hi Amber! Thanks for commenting. The babies did use a binky for a few months. Now baby boy likes to chew on cloths and baby girl is a thumb sucker. I wrote this post as the blog name came a full circle: https://binkymoongee.wordpress.com/2018/08/13/microblogmondays-binky-moongee/
