I‘ve always loved monkeys. As a child I desperately wanted one as a pet, even though I was told that they were dirty and smelly and would bite. My sock monkey “Charlie” was my favourite toy, and I was devastated when he was lost in a move (though when I was a young adult my grandma gifted me with a new Charlie monkey, which is still in my possession). Though I’m not much of a collector, I do have several of the wise trio of “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” monkeys around my home.
Monkeys. Huh.

“See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil,’ reminded me of the Father of our Nation the Great Mahatma Gandhi. Nice post Laurel.

Yup, sure do remember those monkeys. They were cuddly, wise and so understanding – when you talked to them

Laurel, are you familiar with Frida Kahlo’s paintings? She had a pet monkey and painted some self-portraits with it.
