Monkeys vs. babies
They're small, cute and throw poop -- the difference between baby monkeys and baby humans is pretty tiny.
But monkeys don't grow up and join gangs, go to college, pierce their noses, get tribal tattoos or other obnoxious things humans do these days.
I was sitting here at work just now when a commercial came on for a show called "The Outsiders. "It's going to be on at 10 p.m. Tuesday. That's pretty much all I know about it, but the premise of it seems to be that a lady realized that monkeys are less trouble than humans, so she adopted a monkey.
The monkey eats at the table, drinks out of a glass, goes to the playground and wears dresses (which I suppose makes it a girl monkey.)
This is the best link I could find and I don't know how long it's going to last. It's for the Primetime series. If you poke around, you'll find a video called "substitute children." That's the one about the lady who is raising a monkey.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.
