Today’s moment with Baby Monkey Mimi was both hilarious and unbelievable. It all started when I walked into the room and caught her doing something she knew she wasn’t supposed to do—peeing right on the floor! The second she realized I saw her, her eyes widened, and she froze like a tiny statue, as if staying still could erase the evidence. For a moment, she looked at me with those big innocent eyes, hoping I hadn’t noticed. But of course, I did.
When I called her name gently, Mimi suddenly switched to her next plan—a dramatic performance worthy of an Oscar. She immediately sat down, hunched her shoulders, and began pretending she was weak. She tilted her head, held her tummy, and made the softest little whimpering sounds, trying to convince me she was sick. It was so obvious she was faking, but she acted it so well that I almost laughed out loud. She kept glancing at me to see if I believed her, then exaggerating her “pain” even more.
But here’s the funniest part: the moment I picked her up to check if she was really feeling unwell, she suddenly clung to me tight, burying her face in my shirt like a guilty child begging for forgiveness. Her tiny hands held onto me as if she thought I would punish her. Instead of scolding, I just hugged her and cleaned up the mess—because how could anyone stay angry at a baby monkey who pretends to be sick just to avoid getting into trouble?
After a few minutes, her “illness” magically disappeared. She jumped around, played with her toys, and acted completely normal again—as if nothing had happened at all! That’s Mimi: full of drama, full of mischief, and full of charm.
Her little tricks always make our day brighter, even when she’s being naughty. And moments like this remind us just how smart, emotional, and funny baby monkeys can be.
