"WE ARE NOT CHIMPANZEES!!!!" he announced as I knuckle-walked through the door.
I immediately put down my banana, stood upright, and joined him in the family room, where P-Dawg breathlessly informed me of the discovery of Ardipithecus Ramdus or "Ardi", the fossil that has usurped Lucy's claim to fame as mother of humankind. It's the sort of news that has many scientists drooling over their pocket protectors, and the P-Dawg even more so because one of the members of the research team that discovered Ardi just happens to be a former professor of his.
I immediately went online and read all about this long lost biped cousin. It turns out she stood about five feet tall, weighed 110 pounds, and was in desperate need of a properly fitting bra.
In other words, she's me, only furrier.

Rima girl, you crack me up! Well done. But cut Ardi a break, I mean where's a girl to find a quality bra at a reasonable price in prehistoric times?
i want her opposable toe.
I knew it!!
I think opposable toes would be cool.
Does this mean we don't have to shave our legs?
Har! I chortled so loudly that my husband called downstairs whilst tucking in the kids to see what was wrong.
So, you and Ardi both play the ukulele?
HA!!
Can I blame Ardi for my hirsuteness, or does that blame still go to my Italian ancestors?

Oh, Rima, you are brilliant. You crack me up.
