In 1969, Edwinna was asked by neighbors Al and Gaylene Thurston to watch their monkey. They had a big dog that they would shave it's body except for around it's face so that it would look like a lion and the monkey would ride it's back sometimes. The monkey was very smart. He used the toilet and if they tried to put a diaper on him, he'd get it off in a heart beat.
One day he got out of the house and climbed up the big cedar tree. Edwinna and Del were sent to try to get him out but it didn't work. They spent the day trying to talk him down, instead that monkey spent all day in the tree eating bugs. He ate so many that his stomach was bulging by the time he finally came down.
Another time, he was feeling very mischievous and got a hold of the peanut butter. He knew he was in trouble and played chase with the kids while holding a handful of it. He got it all over the tops of the curtains.
He also got a hold of the butter one day, and he painted the top of Edwin's bald head with it.
That little monkey also enjoyed eating lipstick.
(1969 Delbert, D.Ann, Edwin, Edwinna, Billy Joe, Darlene, and Denece Perkins)
