Some Monday mornings start like a jungle wake-up call, Tarzan-style, screaming in your brain and reverberating through the imagined trees to get you all worked up for another week. Yikes.

While some Mondays really do feel like a crazy jungle, there's a sure way to deal with them in a very effective way. Don't worry, we're not about keeping secrets here, we're yapping as a loud macaque whose sleep was disturbed. That special way is simple - if the start of your week feels bananas, just act crazy straight back to it. Pound your chest like a mighty gorilla, open a scary mouth like a hungry baboon, and scream like a chimpanzee who's just been told that the great dame Jane Goodall has passed away. Meet Monday like an angry monkey, and Monday will have to deal with you, and not the other way around.

There's something extra cute about money puppies. Money babies? We're going to Dr. Google for a minute, so we can solve this question. […] Well, apparently a baby monkey is called an infant, just like a human baby is! It's surprising and also not surprising at all to learn. It's because monkeys are primates, just like us, so our babies are called the same. We started by wanting to fawn over the fact that baby monkeys are so cute, probably because they remind us so much of human babies - but ended up discovering that both our babies are cousins, just like we are. How wholesome is that?

We know there are other animals who “wear” trinkets to try and look prettier (Have you even seen a parrot decorating its tail with pieces of paper they deem beautiful? Adorable) - but having someone so close to us genetically do that makes it more special. It feels more like when we put on earrings or necklaces, because honestly? A chimpanzee could totally do that, too. And she'd look amazing, for sure.
