Kurt Vonnegut wrote a book of of short stories called Welcome To The Monkey House. I forget the reasoning for his title, but here is mine. Baby chimps raised without a mother, just a ticking clock (to simulate a heartbeat) and a blanket, can't nurture or socialize as adults. My mother said I MOTIONED with my head to be returned to my crib, from the living room, at 2 weeks old. Redonkulous. So we meet here. Welcome to the monkey house.
