today you saw

your first monkeys

in the wild.

well, the wilds

of our neighborhood

in bangalore.

the rest of

the day, all

you could say was,

“monkey! monkey! monkey!”

in this

photo you were

pointing and yelling,

“monkey! monkey! monkey!”

and there were

no monkeys anywhere

near us,

and all we

could think about

was how you

looked like you

were imitating the woman

in the movie

poster to the

right of the photo.

you’re a pretty

funny kid.
