Monkeys Throwing Poop

I have been very stressed out lately. It is like I am trying to keep the peace in a monkey cage, and all the monkeys do is throw poop at me. I have noticed that when the other adult monkeys are not here the baby monkeys (and their mommy) do much better. There is poop flinging, but it doesn't bother me and there is a relative peace and calm in the cage. When the adult monkeys come back to the cage it is a constant battle for me just to duck the poop that they throw, then I have to clean up all that poop...while the poop rains down. I have to watch my words or I will step on a poop mine and get blown up. I am not allowed to complain about the poop, I am just to clean it up and keep my monkey mouth shut. The adult monkeys in the cage need to quit throwing poop and take some responsibility for themselves. Because there is a whole world out there, and there are countless monkey cages...and not all monkeys throw poop. Sometimes it is good to remember that.
