I wanted a Spider Monkey.
There they were in the back of comic books 18.79 your very own spider monkey. I asked my Mom and she just looked at me weird. I took that as a no and didn't have the 18.79 anyways so I moved on to the Capitol music club, where I promptly ordered 8 8-tracks mostly Steve Miller, Sweet, Elton John, Quicksilver messenger service and a few others. Never bought anymore but kept the one they sent every month. You would tape a nickel on the add to prove your trustworthiness.
Anyways my cousin Cathy had the money for the spider monkey and got one. It was great when it first came in and for almost a year we frolicked with the monkey everywhere, to the park, swing-sets, 5&dime. It was great, she had a basket on her bike and he just sat there being a monkey.
But it got weird one day, he started chirping and jumping on the curtains and the last time I saw it, it was in the kitchen cabinet growling at me and eating the cereal. I think my Uncle Leon whacked it with a tennis racket and stuck it in a pillow case and tossed it in the pool.
Today if given the chance I would still get a spider monkey.
