Monkey Business

OK, it's been a month and a half since my last post. The idea for this remembrance was from a Sunday
School lesson yesterday where I made a comment in class that man did not "evolve" from a monkey.

When my kids were very young my parents came to visit, and we took the family to the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. One of the highlights was the monkey cage which is always fun to watch the shennanagans of the primates.

My father was an Episcopal preacher's kid and had some un-Mormonlike views of the history of mankind. He looked at the frolicking primates and said, "to think we evolved from them!" Temporarily forgetting my own ancestry I said, "Speak for yourself, dad."
