Monkey Trouble

We are always teasing Jack that he is a monkey.  We tell him that we stole him from the zoo when he was just a baby and now we shave off all his monkey fur every night while he sleeps so he looks like a little boy.  It makes him so mad when we tell him he's a monkey- "me not a monkey!"  OK, maybe we're cruel parents but you have to admit he does look a little like Curious George.  The other day he was being naughty and we told him that if he couldn't be good that we would stop shaving him and then we would take him back to the zoo.  He then promised to be good and begged us to keep shaving him- "Please shave me.  Me no want to live in the zoo."  I think he's really starting to believe us that this whole monkey things is true.  I guess our not-so-subliminal messaging is working a little too well.  Look at this video and tell me children don't become what people consistently tell them they are.
