Haiku Friday: Little Monkeys

A new study says
Toddlers smarter than monkeys
Evolution works

I had to laugh at the study. Any parent could tell you that a toddler can watch a person complete a task, like opening a cookie container, and copy the actions. OK, we probably aren’t so good at telling you how a monkey would respond, but we know how smart toddlers are.

What they didn’t reveal in the study is the likelihood that the toddler will do said task when you’re not watching, at the most inopportune time, or perform a task you really didn’t want them to copy. Like flipping someone the bird.

  1. Too bad we can’t train monkeys to flip the bird….

  2. Mrs. Chicken says

    The Poo points with her middle finger, and we can’t get her to stop.

    In a way, I don’t really want her to stop. 🙂

  3. Don’t forget when monkey gets mad they flig Sh*t at you … gross!

  4. Love your Haiku. And how much money did the researchers get to finance that study. All they had to do is read a few mom blogs and spend 20 minutes with a toddler to come up with that conclusion.

    Awesome haiku!! And so, so true!

  6. My toddler can lift
    The seat but not put it down;
    Monkeys know better
