I decided to give her a break and not turn in the sketch of myself in the monkey house. Instead, I turned in the sketches of the Orangutan and my friend the spider monkey. I think Mrs. Kuhns liked them, but of course, she had to be critical. Craig, this is an Orangutan, and this other one looks like a spider monkey. I thought about pulling out the picture of the very specific 'Mitchell animal' I had in my backpack, but I didn't.
Any dumb kid can understand that.
Well, here's a hilarious monkey story that inspired me to write about my own monkey experiences. You may have caught My Boot in progress. If so, take a look around. There's more to read and see.
