Preface: Today on the way to pick up his school friend (whose father is consequently our veterinarian) to spend the night, Caleb made the following remark:
Caleb: "My friend can't wait to see Lola (our pet pig). He told me that he wants a chimpanzee as a pet but it's illegal to own one. I guess he could get a different type of monkey".
Me: "Exotic animals like monkeys can be hard to train/parent".
Caleb: "I know. I actually told my friend he shouldn't get a monkey because I sometimes watch "When Animals Attack" and pet monkeys can actually rip your face off. I told him he's better off just buying a pig for a pet".
Me: (Silence and speechlessness follow).
