Rascal (the monkey) here..

Now that I’m famous, I need to maintain my reputation. (Jenny: Pffft!) I dragged both the humans with me to CVS and a little trip to Walgreens for good measure. (Jenny: You hid in my purse the whole time!) With my excellent advice, I let them do all the work. That’s what famous people do, ya know. (Jenny: *rolls eyes*)

Here’s a picture of me and the loot, did Jenny capture my good side do you think?

Now that I saved the ladies so much money, I demanded they feed me. I wanted to go somewhere they served premium bananas but they said nothing else was open. As I sipped some coffee, I noticed several patrons eyeballing me..I’m sure they wanted to bask in my celebrity and get my autograph.

Jenny kept muttering “delusions of grandeur” – wonder what she meant by that?

Ciao!
