An anecdote

I don’t remember a lot of things from my childhood however this one experience really struck with me. It wasn’t something super important or marvelous or a miracle however I can’t get my self to not think about it and have a little chuckle every now and then.

When I was a kid, there was a street performer going around with a monkey making it dance for money. This one time, the monkey was dancing when a cow walked into the street at a good distance. I don’t think anyone noticed other than me, the monkey and the cow. I was expecting the monkey to get scared because it was so much smaller compared to the cow however what happened next blew my mind. (;P)

Both the monkey and the cow got scared at the same time and started running away from each other. I realize this wasn’t the funniest thing to ever happen but the early teen me thought this was super funny and I still haven’t grown to disagree with him.
