the monkey lady does exist.
and of course, she is related to us (or she is our "kin" to properly reference the term). mom didn't believe it either... until she actually met the monkey lady while she was in walterboro the other week. sadly, i was not present to experience the excitement.
apparently the "monkey lady" (as she is referred to around walterboro) is a distant cousin of ours. surprise suprise. we have strange relatives. how do ya'll think momma, aunt meg and nancy were able to write 3 books? because we have got real life inspiration right and left around here.
the monkey lady explained that she used to have many monkeys, but she took most of them to florida to give away.
except connie of course.
connie is the monkey she kept. connie apparently goes everywhere with her ("except to the hospital"), is bathed daily, wears diapers at night, and sleeps between her and her husband ("i like to keep an eye on her, because you know monkeys can get into everything...").
i told mom i needed to meet and document this lady and connie for our family photo album. maybe i can have lunch with her....i need to work on that next time i'm in walterboro.
i wish i could make this stuff up, but i can't. :)
"When you find out things about yourself
That you hadn't ought to know
When your grandma calls and books you
On the Jerry Springer show
And you find out you and your wife of ten years
Just might be related
Brother, life's not over
it's just Simply complicated
Life is complicated with its Ifs and ands and buts
It's alright to be crazy, Just don't let it drive you nuts" -Jimmy Buffett
