My husband is pretty hairy. So, he probably has some chimpanzee ancestors.

I told my husband about this story and then paused a moment, looked at him significantly and added, "Just saying . . ."

Some of my family members have a very strong resemblance to monkeys. this little boy at my nephews school was always telling my mom she looked like an ape. Maybe we do come from them after all!!
