Every morning begins with the soft chirping of birds, the golden light of dawn peeking through the curtains, and a little rustle from a cozy bed in the corner of the room. That’s when Lala, the sweet little monkey, stirs from her slumber. With a sleepy stretch and a tiny yawn, she opens her eyes, blinks a few times, and smiles. It’s time to start another day!
Unlike many little ones who fuss or complain when it’s time to get ready, Lala is a shining example of responsibility. She knows that taking care of herself is important—not just for her health but because it makes her feel fresh and happy. Every morning without fail, Lala obediently follows her routine, and the first step is brushing her teeth.
Lala hops out of bed and toddles off to the bathroom. Waiting for her there is a small toothbrush with soft bristles, just the right size for her tiny hands. It’s pink, with a cartoon banana printed on it, and Lala adores it. She picks it up, squeezes a little dot of banana-flavored toothpaste onto it, and gets to work. Brush up, brush down, brush in circles—she does it all like a pro!
She hums a tune while brushing, her tail swaying happily behind her. It’s not just a chore for Lala—it’s a fun part of her day. Sometimes, she glances in the mirror and makes funny faces with her foamy mouth, giggling quietly to herself. But she never forgets the important spots—her back teeth, front teeth, and even her tongue.
Her human caretaker, Cutis, watches from the doorway with a proud smile. “Good job, Lala,” he says gently. “That’s how we stay healthy and clean!” Lala beams at the praise, rinses her mouth with water, and pats her face dry with a soft towel.
After brushing her teeth, Lala moves on to the next part of her self-care routine: washing her face. She splashes cool water on her cheeks and forehead, rubbing gently with her little hands. She knows that clean skin helps keep away pimples and itchy spots, something she learned from Cutis during one of their evening storytimes.
Then, she picks up her tiny comb and starts grooming her soft fur. She’s careful and patient, gently untangling any knots. Lala knows that staying neat helps her feel more confident. Some days, she even adds a little flower or ribbon to her fur, especially when she has visitors or a playdate with Lu, her best monkey friend.
Once she finishes her grooming, Lala climbs up on her stool and grabs a small bottle of coconut oil. She rubs a little onto her arms and legs—Cutis taught her how important it is to keep her skin moisturized, especially on sunny days. She sniffs the scent of coconut and lets out a happy sigh. “Mmm!”
By the time she’s done, she looks fresh, clean, and proud. Her routine isn’t just about hygiene—it’s a form of self-respect and independence. And for a little monkey like Lala, those are big steps on the path to growing up.
Every morning is the same. No complaints. No skipping steps. Even if she’s still sleepy or if it’s cloudy and rainy outside, Lala knows her routine comes first. Her consistency amazes everyone who sees it, and many of her fans online look forward to the daily videos that Cutis shares showing Lala’s morning habits.
“Wow, I wish my child brushed their teeth as well as Lala!” one comment says.
“She’s such a smart and well-raised monkey,” says another.
Lala’s story is inspiring because she wasn’t always like this. When Cutis first brought her home, she was shy, nervous, and didn’t understand much about taking care of herself. But Cutis was patient. Every morning, he would show her how to brush, comb, and clean up. He would brush his own teeth right next to her, making it a bonding activity. Bit by bit, Lala began to copy him, and now—months later—she does it all by herself.
The best part? Lala actually looks forward to her routine. It gives her a sense of purpose and a happy start to her day. It also sets her up for all the exciting things that come next—breakfast time, outdoor play, and little adventures with Lu.
One morning, Lu came over early for a surprise visit. He arrived just as Lala was finishing brushing her teeth
“Wow!” Lu said. “You already finished?”
Lala nodded proudly, holding up her toothbrush like a trophy. “Brushed and clean!” she chirped.
Lu looked impressed but admitted, “I sometimes forget to brush mine.”
Lala took his hand gently and said, “Want me to help you remember tomorrow?”
From that day on, Lu started waking up earlier and coming over to brush his teeth with Lala. The two monkeys laughed and helped each other comb their fur and wash up. Soon, their morning routine became a duo performance, and their bond grew even stronger.
Watching them, Cutis knew that he had done something special—not just for Lala, but for her growing little community. Teaching one young animal how to care for herself had inspired another to do the same.
Lala’s story spread far and wide. Videos of her morning routine went viral, and people from around the world sent her gifts—tiny toothbrushes, colorful towels, and even matching monkey pajamas. But no matter how famous she got, Lala never skipped her morning steps. She stayed grounded, disciplined, and joyful.
In fact, her routine became more than just a habit—it became a message. A reminder that even the smallest creatures can show big responsibility. That self-care is an act of love—not just for ourselves, but for those who care about us.
Every time Lala looks into the mirror with a toothbrush in hand, she doesn’t just see a clean smile. She sees growth, learning, and pride. And every time Cutis sees her do it on her own, his heart fills with quiet happiness.
So the next time you feel like skipping your morning routine or rushing out the door without brushing your teeth—think of Lala. Think of the tiny monkey who wakes up each day, sleepy-eyed but determined, ready to face the world one brushstroke at a time.
Because Lala knows something we all should remember: when you take care of yourself, you’re not just cleaner—you’re stronger, happier, and ready for whatever the day brings.
