Translating Toddler Talk

Sometimes its hard to decipher what our little man is saying. Sometimes Blue Eyes tells us she understands. Sometimes she does, and sometimes it's just her version of what she'd like her younger sibling to be saying. 
So the other night at dinner we are talking about the rain forest, and the animals that live there. Especially the monkeys, their behaviors and if they'd make good pets. Probably not, we inform them. But Little Man says something which took forever to figure out...something along the lines of  "No, me know someone who has monkey  pet!" He was animate about his friend who owned some monkey.
 Finally we figured out he was referring to the man in the yellow hat - who has a monkey, Curious George!
