I used to call my daughter a monkey when she was little too, because of her antics, and my mama called me a monkey as well, because I loved bananas. So what? I guess we'd have to be called "arctic monkeys" to be offended since we're white. Funny, I don't think it would make any difference. I have sense enough to choose what I listedn to and take to heart, apparently unlike sopme people who need the thought police on the job to protect them from hearing things they might not like.
