we should’ve got a monkey
Posted in: General
After another particularly poor example of bad temper on the part of our dog, Miss Maisie, Justine, in frustration, wailed “We should’ve got a monkey.”
Monkeys, we believe, would make great pets.
They could be taught to make the tea.
Or do the dishes.
They would be handy to have about the house.
Instead we chose a dog. We thought she was cute. How were we to know?
To exchange : one dog, cute but cranky for one monkey with dishwashing abilities. All offers considered.
That would indeed be very handy. Not just one – a whole army of monkeys to do my bidding.
