So how come you got to posh with a heffalump baby?

 

[Hover Fly]

It was when my brother was a zoo-keeper.

Cool! Did you get to pet many animals?

Loads, the photo I was looking for when I found that one was of me with a capuchin monkey my brother was raising after his mother rejected him, I went to visit and the 5 week-old took a shine to me for some reason, and screamed when I put it down. Then there was the two baby gorillas, we went in their enclosure with our father who had a meat mallet he had bought earlier in his pocket, the male gorilla snatched it and whacked me on the bottom with it, I had a bruise for weeks.

...me with a capuchin monkey my brother was raising after his mother rejected him,

Why did your brother's mother reject him?

 

[Hover Fly]

Because he wasn't as stunningly tall, dark and handsome as me.

 

[Arch]

Because he wasn't as stunningly tall, dark and handsome as me.

or as modest...
