Daughter: Can I get a monkey?
Me: No.
Daughter: Why not?
Me: Monkeys are wild animals.
Daughter: But I could give them a banana and they'd come to me.
Me: But they're still wild.
Daughter: Are there tame monkeys?
Me: I don't think so.
Daughter: I wish the president would start a company that trained monkeys.
Me: Now that you mention it, that would explain a lot.

Many decades ago after my younger brother and I had seen the movie “Bedtime for Bonzo,” we begged for a chimpanzee. You may happen to know that the human star of the film was none other than our last Repulican president, Ronald Reagan. Hummm.
