Recently, I spoke to an old boyfriend who is becoming a new "guy"friend. Well he has this saying, "It's all a bunch of monkey business." His phrase when exasperated or trying to calm down his kids: "Stop that monkey business!"
I've started using the phrase. Much to my surprise. I use it when describing the rules we make for ourselves. For instance, I'm just not so sure about all this "monkey business" with religion, politics, workplace. Sit down, stand up, pray for this, don't ask for that. Oh, you have to behave this or that way to get accepted. Chant this way, worship that way. The actions of our politicians discussing our health care issues, pushing through bills. Scandalous monkey business.
Just a bunch of monkey business. War: Monkey business. Hate: Monkey business. Anger: Monkey Business. Aggressive defense: Monkey business. Intentional suffering and pain: Monkey Business. Greed: Monkey Business.
I can keep going but am bored with all this ... monkey business. oy!
