E-mail from Maria

Subject line: Conversation in the car last night

Mommy & Daddy talking with each other...

Aila: "Mommy, what is the name of the little monkey that hangs on the giraffe?"

Mommy (aka Maria): "I don't know baby, what is it called?"

Aila: "It has a really long tail and it's really small."

Mommy: "I'm sorry Aila, I don't know its name."

Aila: (matter-of-factly) "Oh, its the Pygmy Marmoset."

Mommy & Daddy, beaming with pride, burst out laughing because neither of us knows what that is!!!

I Googled it this morning to find out that it is indeed very small (the smallest primate) and it does have a very long tail.
