More Amusing Than A Drunk Monkey
My mom is a unique lady.
My mom is tons of fun. My mom’s carefree attitude has made her a favorite amongst my friends. In fact, my friends like my mom so much that frequently they come over to my house to hang out with her just as much as they come over to hang out with me! My mom throws better parties than anyone in my class!
My mother threw a tremendous birthday party for my friend Monkey.
My friends love to reminisce about one party in specific that my mom threw which stands out above all the rest. The party was a surprise for my friend Michael who when we were young I nicknamed Monkey due to his amazing tree-climbing power. My mom and Monkey are really close because he’s been my friend since we were babies. For Monkey’s 10th birthday, my mom took a group of our friends to the city zoo for an afternoon of fun. Unbeknownst to myself or anyone else, my mom arranged for the zoo officials to set up a party for Monkey right outside the monkey exhibit! My mom goes all out with decorations. The zoo officials decorated the monkey exhibit with noise makers, balloons, hats and streamers!
There were customized banners everywhere at the zoo.
Upon our arrival at the zoo, we immediately noticed oddly placed custom banners with directions pointing to the primate exhibit. At first, we thought these banners were nothing more than directional banners, but as we started noticing them more and more our curiosity got the better of us and we followed the vinyl banners to the monkey exhibit. When we arrived at the monkey exhibit we felt like we were walking into the pages of a book. The exhibit was closed off to the other people at the zoo, and throughout the area there were monkeys roaming free. For decoration, there were yellow streamers stretching from the banana tree in the center of the room out across to the wall that lined the exhibit. The monkeys were climbing in and out of empty barrels and eating from bushels of bananas that were placed throughout the exhibit. It was truly incredible!
Look at that big empty wall over there!
Once in the area, my mom had us gather around an empty wall on the far side of the room. To our amazement, out of nowhere a giant vinyl banner unraveled and covered the empty wall. The custom banner said “Happy Birthday Monkey!” The custom banner was the biggest I had seen that day! The other banners I saw outside the monkey exhibit now made sense, as they matched the giant happy birthday custom banner.
Monkey’s surprise 10th birthday party was one I will never forget!
Monkey was grinning from ear to ear. My mom brought a box that Monkey now uses to store his giant custom banner. That banana shaped custom vinyl banner is a great reminder of the fun day we had at the zoo and is a perfect example of my mom’s creativity!
