Is This Monkey Complaining to Me ๐ โ Baby Monkey Cici
Today, Baby Monkey Cici did something so funny and so familiar that I couldnโt stop laughing. She sat right in front of me, stared straight into my eyes, and started making a series of very serious sounds. They werenโt cries. They werenโt happy squeaks either. They soundedโฆ judgmental. Thatโs when the thought hit meโis this monkey complaining to me?
Cici crossed her tiny arms and tilted her head, letting out a long, dramatic sound like she had a lot to say. Her eyebrows lowered, her lips pushed forward, and she looked genuinely annoyed. Every sound came with an expression, as if she was listing all the things I had done wrong today.
When I talked back to her, she immediately respondedโlouder this time. It felt like a full conversation, except she was clearly the one in charge. Each time I paused, Cici jumped in again, continuing her tiny rant. She even added hand gestures, pointing and waving like she was emphasizing her complaints.
I tried to distract her with a toy, but she pushed it aside without even looking. This was not playtime. This was a meeting. She leaned closer, making another long sound, then stopped suddenly to see if I was listening. When I nodded and answered, she continued, satisfied.
The funniest part was how serious she looked. No smiles. No giggles. Just pure baby monkey frustration. Maybe her nap was too short. Maybe her milk was late. Or maybe she just wanted to be held longer. Whatever it was, she made sure her feelings were heard.
After a few minutes, her energy shifted. The โcomplainingโ slowed down, her voice softened, and she finally crawled into my lap. The lecture was over. She rested her head against me, calm again, like nothing had happened.
Moments like this make Baby Monkey Cici feel so human. Her emotions, her expressions, her need to be understoodโitโs all so real. She may not speak our language, but today she definitely had something to say.
So yesโฆ Iโm pretty sure this monkey was complaining to me. And honestly? She made some good points. ๐๐๐
