hi, there's betrayal and then there's "my mom didn't let me have pets as a kid and i later found out she grew up with a pet monkey"
his name was martín and he was "very naughty" and obeyed only her
my mom claims she left peru for "a better life" and i had to tell her she was wrong.
she later admitted said "better life" was just "really wanting to check out disney world"
i wasn't allowed to have pets because we had carpeting. she told me "someone's allergic." her monkey used to ride with her on her motorcycle
🚨 MY MOM IS DRINKING AND TELLING MARTÍN STORIES 🐒 🚨
so martín’s favorite thing to do was climbing trees and throwing rocks and big clumps of hard dirt at my mother’s sisters’ boyfriends and frankly, i’m #teammartín so far
i regret to inform you martín the monkey is canceled
it’s important that we all know martín was bigger than “the monkey on friends”
i think it’s important to note that i stopped filming right before my mom let us know her father gave martín to a pilot, who aimed to teach him how to fly a plane.
my mom has been telling me i need to visit peru for the longest time, and honestly, i’m this close to booking the flight, knowing full well the narrative leads to me locking eyes with and giving a quiet salute to a very old monkey pilot.
oh no i hope martín didn’t become a creepy old groper monkey
HOLY SHIT MY MOM JUST ADMITTED IF SHE HAD ANY SAY IN IT SHE WOULD HAVE NAMED ME MARTÍN
thinking about the old monkey pilot again
