If you didn’t know what Spider Monkeys were and someone was like, “I’m thinking about getting a Spider Monkey for a pet”…does that not sound like the most terrifying animal?

Spiders on their own are creepy, I think most of us can agree on that.

Yay, adulthood.

Thanks for making me stronger.

Looking forward to it. 🙂

or a child’s man or a dog’s man.
Those are the men missed when
they are finally gone.

Read the rest. (It’s, like, a paragraph of short you guys).
