"Please!" my friend yelled over the phone.
"No! I'm not watching you're chimpanzee! Ask Megan!" I yelled back.
"B-but R, I need your help!" she stuttered miserably. "I need to go to my grandma's funeral."
I felt myself weakening in resolve. How could I leave my friend in a predicacment like this? Why couldn't Magan watch the chimpanzee? I had no idea what i was supposed to do.
"Why can't Megan do it?" I said more softly.
"She's in France, remember?"
"Fine, I'll watch your stupid monkey." I sighed.
"His name is Prince Philip Montgomery the Third!" she sniffed.
Right. I decided to just call him Phil, as I so didn't want to do that. The whole idea of such a long name was stupid, although I wouldn't tell her that.
This began the worst day of my life. Phil was a monster! He wouldn't listen to my instructions at all. He refused to eat anything, and, despite the fact he was house broken, he went all over the house. I was at a loss.
"Phil! Get down now!" I shrieked. "Get down!"
Phil didn't even seem to register the fact that I was yelling at him. Was he deaf? Then I realized something. My friend would never give her monkey a nickname.
"Prince Philip Montgomery the Third! Get down and go to sleep now!" I yelled.
The chimpanzee instantly fell off the chandelier and fell asleep. I sighed in relief, and I was too tired to do anything but follow his example. I'm never watching a chimpanzee ever again.
