Can't keep a secret

Monkeys are very bad at secrets. I am no exception. Especially good ones - like gifts.

The Phenom's birthday is three weeks away - and I am totally in love with the gift I got that I don't quite know how I'm going to keep it a secret for THREE WHOLE WEEKS.

In the past, I've claimed to have a different gift and openly taunted about it. I don't know if I can do that this time. I did get a book that was requested -- but I don't think it's enough to keep my lips sealed.

Because it is without a doubt the coolest gift EVER. Truly a one of a kind. Special commission and all.

Phenom always claims to not have a gift for me - which is a silly tactic because I always know. I know because I know how to look up a history on the internet and the Phenom doesn't have time between performances to go OUT and shop. heh heh.

Oh yeah, The Phenom gave me an article about what to do when attacked by monkeys -- as if I'd find it funny. I did learn, however, that in the wild, monkeys will look you in the eye, open their mouths and show their teeth just before attacking. Must practice this technique if I'm to take over the planet. If you hear screaming from our home -- it's just the Phenom after ignoring my "grin." Maybe practicing my attack technique will help me keep the secret.
