Monkey business breaks out at UWM
By Taylor Pipes
A series of UWM events will celebrate Curious George, the 61-year-old monkey/icon from the popular series of children’s books. The exhibit runs from September 9-October 31 and includes numerous pieces of original artwork from Curious George books, ranging from preliminary sketches to completed images.

Ohhh!!!!!

I wanna go I wanna go I wanna go!!!

I have been playing with the Rabbit and telling Leesie stories about our adventures.

You see, the Rabbit with Big, Pointy Teeth has moved in with us. Oh, it was so SCCCAAAARRRRYYYYY when it came here. It was Mean! And Scary! And... Look at the Bones!

It came in the room and it jumped on Leesie’s hand and started chewing away!!! It was even scarier than a whoopdewisp! (Remind me to tell you the story of the whoopdewisps at Pennsic sometime, ’kay?) Oh, I never saw anything like it! It went ”Rawr rawr rawr” and ”chomp chomp chomp” and ”chew chew chew!”Ohhhh, and its TEETH!

Big nasty pointy teeth!

I was flaberghasted, lemme tell you!

And it was on Leesie’s hand! ACK! My lovely ”El Cid” (cue Zorro music) was waaaaayyy out of reach, so I had to work with what was at hand!

What was at hand?

Chocolate Syryp.

So I splooged choco syryp all over the Rabbit, and its eyes got really really big and it let go of Leesie and started sniffing at the syryp and cleaning itself like it was a cat, which was weird, because its a rabbit, and its big teeth were weirding me out. That tongue slurping out between those teeth... Yikes!

Anyway, the Rabbit seemed very soothed by the choco syryp, and after it licked itself clean it fell over like it was stoned or something. Like me, when I’ve had too much grog. I took Leesie to the bathroom and cleaned up her fingers; I was really, really afraid that the rabbit would
chew her up until all she had was stumps like me, but the rabbit only gnawed on her a little, she wasn’t really hurt, just a little spooked. My Leesie is a trooper.

Anyway, after that, I used the choco syryp to teach the rabbit tricks, and now it is our pet.

Yesterday, when Leesie got up, we played like the rabbit was attacking me, and she laughed and laughed, and then we set up like all the sock monkeys were standing around watching the rabbit eat my hand, and we waited for Miguel-san to get up and see our little play. And when he did, he laughed, and then he went downstairs and got the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch and the Rabbit played like it was trying to burrow into Leesie’s blankets to escape the wrath and boom of the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch and we waited for Leesie.

And, let me tell you, Leesie is pokey.

But when she came in the room (and she was dressed as Underwear Woman by then–can you believe that Miguel-san did not know Leesie was Underwear Woman? Sheesh!) she saw us and she laughed and laughed.

Always a wonderful thing.
