i used to believe that all monkeys were the same kind of animal as gorillas. i asked my mom once why orangutans were orange not black, and she told me they were different from gorillas and i thought she meant that WE were the same kind of animal as orangutans (because we had just gone on vacation and i got such a huge tan i looked orange) and in school the next day i tld my teacher that i was an orangutan because even my butt was orange, (i had a wedgie at the beach)-and except it wasn't hairy like orangutans, & my teacher frowned and all the kids laughed, mostly the stupid boys, and i had extra work to do.
