Marmoset monkeys

Good point. And why be a mom now? You have no idea where life may take you. What about in the future, when you have children? The marmoset will NOT like sharing you. And what if your child developes allergy induced asthma? It happens ALL the time. You would have to give the monkey away for your child's health. And don't they mark their territories by urinating on things? Ewww. They are adorable but I think the novelty would wear off quickly.

I don't want human kids. I know exactly the amount of commitment that will be needed. The point of this thread is to discuss care. I'm used to cleaning pee up everywhere, my cats do it all the time.
 
Haha, we have a family story about how my Grandma was a youngster and had spent weeks persuading her mum to get her a pet monkey (this was a long time ago, and they had no idea what they were doing). It very nearly happened but in the pet shop the man in front of them in the queue was returning his monkey. Apparently he had no idea what he was doing either because it wrecked his house :D
A disappointing day for my Grandma, and no pet monkey.......
Just don't let your mom find out how much work is involved and you might get away with it........

Hah! Poor grammy. But how do you have a grandma, I thought that you were the one of the first humans. :p
She knows how much work goes, but she knows I'll do all that work regardless.

Now that's just mean :p I'm still young(ish). You're lucky. Twice your age isn't old. Really. Its not. I'm not old.
Also, even if you're talking about Homo Sapiens that would be a long time. I would still have had a Grandma even if I was born 250,000 years ago. I think you're just being silly :p
And way to do things the mature way. When I was a kid we hid rats in the cupboards.........

See I tried to hide a pet... but it was a large, very poisonous spider that I caught.

What stupid stuff have you done in your life?

Well ok. Depends on your definition of stupid. I meant it to mean pointless, frivolous and silly. I think dropping out of Uni because I had too many drugs was pretty stupid of me though.........and so was that time I was bouncing out of a tree, onto my shed roof and then into the compost heap. It was only a matter of time before I went straight through the roof and sprained my ankle :D
Lots of other examples if you want them........
 
Nah if you want a badass see my dad, either that or he's stupid. 4th of July 2 years ago he was cutting wood, the saw hit a knot and the wood spazzed out, sending his thumb through the blade, straight down the middle vertically, through the bone. He put a bandaid on it to hold it together and continued with his day, until my mom found out that is. hahah.
 
Nice. I guess I was about 10 and it was my mum that sent me to hospital, I wouldn't have bothered.
My favourite injury quote is from a guy who had his arm ripped off by a tiger. At the hospital the nurse asked him if he was allergic to anything (before he'd had any treatment). He replied 'Yeah. Tigers.'
