Call of the Wild: Adopting Monkeys
Families Adopt Monkeys as Surrogate Children
By DAVID MUIR, JIM DUBREUIL and TRACIE HUNTE
July 1, 2008


Empty nesters looking to relive all the fun of raising children without reliving the turbulent teens are adopting some of our closest relatives: monkeys.

Families are dressing up capuchins, feeding them at the family dinner table and treating them like any other member of the family. They're called monkids. 

Lori Johnson adopted her monkid, Jessy, when Jessy was 7 weeks old. Lori's children had all moved out and, struggling with an empty house, Lori fell into a deep depression.

"I thought about babies, but I didn't want to go through the preteens all again," Lori said.

This led her to another solution, and to Jessy. "She thinks she's a child. She doesn't like other monkeys at all," Lori said. "She'd rather play with the kids."

Well, I'm a jet fuel genius - I can solve the world's problems
Without even trying
I have dozens of friends and the fun never ends
That is, as long as I'm buying
Is it any wonder I'm not the president
(He's not the president)
Is it any wonder I'm null and void?
Is it any wonder I've got

Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away at my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away from me
Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands

Too much!   

What do they do when the monkeys misbehave or aren't cute anymore - kill them?   

I guess it's be easy enough.  You could always eat the corpse and if the folks from PETA show up looking to free the monkey you could always say he/she was a wild child and simply ran away.

I guess they take them to Monkey sanctuaries.
