Conversations with my kids' monkeys

Hi. I'm a monkey.
Hello, monkey.
I'm Curious George.
Oh, hi. I hear you're a good little monkey and always very curious.
Yeah, and my jungle is downstairs.
Is that where you live?
Yeah. My jungle is in the living room.
Oh, sure. That makes sense. It has a leopard rug.
And it has a train. But I can't play with the train.
Why not?
'Cause I'm a monkey.
Oh.
Monkeys don't play with trains.
What do they play with?
They play with soda.
With soda?
Yeah. They dump it out.
Why do they do that?
'Cause they're kinda silly.
I guess so.
Yeah. I'm kinda silly. And I love you. [Kiss.] 'Cause I'm a nice monkey.
