Oh, the depths to which I have sunk
I took the kids to the zoo today since they were out of school and I was off work. It was a wonderful 5 hours of sunshine and physical activity from which I may never recover. Early on in our visit, we rounded a corner to see some monkey-like animals (by this I mean, they looked like monkeys and probably smelled like monkeys but being the zoo, they were something with a longer name that started with an M). There were 2 squatting up on a branch and I'm watching them doing the usual Ooo-ing and Aaah-ing when I noticed that the monkey in the rear had some kind of stick or something poking up almost to it's chin. It moved a bit and I realized that we had apparently interrupted a VERY private moment for the poor little guy. It took a good few minutes before I realized that I'M STARING AT A MONKEY BONER! The kids had moved on before I snapped to and realized that the monkey was probably like "uh, a little privacy here?" and I moved on. I'll admit, too... I did have a range of thoughts from "Wow, some animals really do find sexual pleasure in the wild like I'd read about. Fascinating!" to "Hahahaaa, monkey boner!". Maturity at it's peak, here, ladies and gentlemen *slaps face*!!
