I took my daughter Sarah out last weekend andthe national Zoo was jammed packed that day. Even with having to rough it through the dense crowd, it was such a joy to see her genuinely fascinated by all creatures great and small. As we were passing the ape exhibit i felt a sudden weight on my back. Suddenly sarah pulled her hand away from mine and yelled, "Mommy, Mommy! George!" As she stared up at me. From the back of the crowd I heard "Oh god! Get security, it got loose again!"
I screamed, "There's a WHAT on my shoulder?!" as i caught a glimpse from my peripheral vision, that there was indeed, a small monkey on my back. Okay... let's not. Let's not. What's the word? Let's not PANIC!!!
I was frozen with fear. Everyone was just starring at me too... where were the authorities? It started to move around, ruffling through my hair and exploring all my pockets. When next i realized that the monkey had taken the set of keys. The ONLY set of keys i had for the station wagon.
He hopped off me, keys in hand, and wandered over to a park bench. I took a deep sigh of relief, but then soon realized that i still needed my keys. When i finally came to my senses and was ready to grab sarah, grab my keys and get the hell home, i.... where was Sarah? Oh no! There she was waddeling over to the monkey. With the gentleness of an angel she patted the monkey on his head and picked the keys up out of his hands, walked back over to me and smiled.

I think we'll go back next weekend.

I might never have mentioned that I had a daughter at 38 and although I had two teens at the time she was an amazing addition to my life, theirs too of course. Anyhow, her name is Heaven and she has a fondness for dogs that is amazing to me, one of her first words after the basics was dog. 11 months old it was clearly dog but she has perked up to doggie sounds since before she was 6 months old. She loves them all and touches them with the gentleness of an Angel.

Heaven loves all animals though, any of them on TV or live, all creatures great and small, actually. We get deer in our yard here (rogue river) and she chases them already, she'll be 13 months on the 11 of September.

There is this petting zoo that claims to be the biggest one around and it is amazing, it should be known to everyone, well I took her and let me tell you the national zoo was jammed (sic) packed that day. All the big game and babies of all sorts: little bears, tigers, lions, a monkey. At the end of the day as I was trying to leave I discovered that the monkey had taken the set of keys that I had carried on a clip hanging from my purse. Oh no, oh my. I freaked and my husband did to just a little as it dawned on him, "Let's not. Let's not. What's the word ? Let's not PANIC!!! When all of a sudden baby Heaven said some goobledy gawk, I wasn't quite up to par on baby speak right then, and pointed to my shoulder, "There's a WHAT on my shoulder?" I asked. My husband found the keys hooked to a monkey just dropping from a tree onto my shoulder. Whew!!! All in all, it was a great day at what we have dubbed The National Zoo, because to us it was an all-American fun time. S.

The National Zoo was jammed packed that day [6]. All the anxious visitors crowded round the gorilla exhibit, expecting to see the two-week old twins born to Mama Cass, the oldest female gorilla in captivity known to successfully reproduce. The gorilla exhibit had always been the main attraction in the monkey house, but since the birth of the rare twins, the crowds had thickened. Sometimes loud and impatient, they often disturbed many of the monkeys.

Suddenly, a hush fell over the mob as Mama Cass emerged from the shrubs and grass, with two infants clinging fast to her front. With the gentleness of an angel [1], she removed one of the twins and swung it up, onto her back.
"Awwww...ooooooh, aaaaaah" the crowd oozed, almost as a chorus. Even the zookeepers were entranced. Mr. Sceptic, biology teacher, and his students, craned their necks to see the twins, squealing "awwww, oooooo, aaaahhh."

The sound of this universal language sent the other monkeys into orbits of excitation and curiosity. One in particular, aptly named George, had a secret escape route, and wriggled through to find out what the fuss was about; the other monkeys expecting a full report. He knuckled his way to one of the zookeepers, and snatched the keys from this belt, while all eyes remained fixed on the twins.

George climbed the vines and cage bars which lined the gorilla exhibit until he was above the masses, and started screeching with delight. In his elation, he excreted a bit of breakfast, which landed with an odiferous splash on Mr. Sceptic's shoulder.

"Uh, teacher? There's a monkey sh*t on your shoulder," observed a student.
"There's a WHAT on my shoulder?! [3]" he glared, attempting to correct the language while furiously swiping his shoulder with a white hankie.
"Look up there! The monkey had taken the set of keys [4] from that keeper!" someone shouted.

Attention was diverted to George, who screeched and chattered, jingling the keys as he agilely climbed down to the orangutan's cage door. As though he'd done it 100 times, he fitted one of the keys into the lock and opened the door. Two large male orangutans strutted out on two legs, rocking side to side with each step.

"Let's not. Let's not. What's the word? Let's not PANIC!!!" [5]screamed Mr. Sceptic as he frantically grabbed at the sleeves of his students and pushed his way through the crowd for the exit. The visitors caught the panic bug and also took flight, almost trampling children in their frenzy.

The orangutans looked on passively, with mild interest at the odd behavior of these humans. They proceeded to the gorilla cage, assumed front row positions and gazed at the twins. George scrambled down and jumped into the zookeeper's arms, returning the keys.

"Nice job, George." said the zookeeper. "Way to clear a crowd. Now we can check out the twins in peace, huh?" he smiled. He had the best job in the world, he thought, caring for all creatures, great and small. [2]
