chimp and child


Differences and similarities. Fat little feet or grabbing toe fingers, we are close enough cousins to hold each other as babies.

Sure, they're cute and everything. Until one rips your face off! (Why do they always go after the face?)

Because they don't like you starin' at 'em.

Pretty much any kid/chimp photo is worth posting.

You posted this one for me. I know you did.
Today Waylon grabbed me on the neck with such strong pincer-fingers that I told him he was like a chimp baby, riding on his mother's back.
At young ages, we are the same, chimps and us. I do believe that.
I love this picture. Thank-you.

Waylon does have a hell of a grip. He got me by the sideburns the other day.
