monkeys are kinda cute, certainly interesting and fun to watch on tv but irl super annoying. i was briefly friends with a girl in middle school whos dad was a zoo keeper of some kind.... it was a long time ago, anyways, for whatever reason, they had a monkey in their house for a little while. at first i thought, COOL! ITS A MONKEY! but it got old real quick. i think it was a young one and it was very playful, but that also included shit like running up on you and yanking your ponytail really fucking hard. it also smelled kinda gross and was a very adept kleptomaniac.
