edit: I showed my wife the comments on this post and she said “I like that everyone is agreeing with me.”
I still love the monkey. Oh, and the wife.

Have you ever watched Trilogy of Horror?
I haven’t.
Sorry, *Terror not Horror.

Skip to the last 5 min of you want. Just reminds me of it for some reason.
Yeah I hate it and not even going to show it to my husband, he would be looking to buy one.
I feel like this is the first of three posts that end with you needing the services of a shaman.
I too love it. I would keep it on a stand next to the door and rub its head for luck.
In 3 years my wife would win it on the divorce (specifically because I would spend hours in the middle of the night rubbing its head and muttering to myself) and set fire to it in an act of rebellion.
The smoke released from the fire would take the form of a dark specter and haunt the world for 5000 years.
Or I would just keep it on the shelf and enjoy having something that I can tease my wife with. d:
Did the vendor’s shop disappear once you went back to return?
No, they were just twenty feet to the left.
Oh, so then the well willing Good Will cashier gave you a warning, and told you to pick something else but you insisted, and now you’re bound forever. What becomes of “it”, shall become of you, kind of thing?
Back in, like, the late '90s, these things were everywhere.
So to me they’re just perfectly banal.
I grew up in the nineties and never saw one before this. Maybe it was regional?
What exactly is it? And why were they ubiquitous in the 90s?
It’s just a decorative item shaped like a monkey, usually made of coconuts.
made of coconuts.
and, um, human teeth
I think it is cute, it is kind eyes.
But do you love it because she hates it?
In part.
You can keep it but you’re gonna get cursed
Oh, of course. That’s the point.
Nice, I look forward to viewing the found footage film once the spooky events start going down.
If it starts moving around at night, that’s when you nope out.
Perhaps give it a baseball cap, a kids piano and some fancy lighting.
Or a manicure…💅
That looks cursed.
That’s why she hates it! The teeth, especially, I think.
Yup, for me it’s the teeth too. Without those it would be cute.
I showed my wife the comments and she said (among other things) that she agrees the teeth are the worst part. She doesn’t like that they “don’t look like teeth,” they make it look like “a monkey who eats teeth.”
I got it from Good Will. There are three things I got there that my wife hates and I love. I don’t have an antagonistic relationship with her in general, but those three things were items I needed.
I’m willing to yield on almost everything else, but how can you say no to a creepy coconut monkey?
No
You’re clearly a stronger person than I.
Personal preference over matrimonial harmony. It’s a bit of a no-brainer, yes?
If I really thought this would upset my wife, I wouldn’t have gotten it. I sometimes enjoy when we play the game of annoying each other, but if I thought something would genuinely upset her, I wouldn’t do it. Teasing is fun for both participants. Actually being a jerk, less so.
You’re an excellent spouse. Sorry for the over analysis.
Thank you for saying so. There is no need to apologize.
No.
She probably doesn’t like it cause it looks like timothee chalamet. That’s why I don’t like it
Your wife is a wise woman.
