…and what does that have to do with a gorilla?
Well written, I’m just curious about that?

A mother Gorilla is very protective of her young…plus the ape reminded me of my first girl friend.

ha ha ha, first girlfriends can be highly experimental, are you sure she wasn’t a real gorilla? Whenver I use a picture I always think I have to write something that pertains to the picture when really it should be used like you used it—as a jumping off point for creativity. But why is child hood a pain in the ass? This young lad just made out with a girl during an entire movie, that sounds like a rad childhood. Unless she really WAS a gorilla.

I suppose I was saying that childhood is a pain because you are dependent on others (like having Mom drive you on a date). I remember the freedom I felt when I first got my driver’s license.

Totally agree. Mom always insisted on picking me up before 10. Over for dinner? right, not likely. drivers license was bliss.

I see your point. When I was growing up my mom had all of my friends and girlfriends over for dinner and they ended up liking her more than me! Childhood is rough indeed.
