Mom: Hey, look, there is a circus show over there.

Dad: I'm not in the mood.

Mom: It's the circus.

Dad: I don't want to sit there and watch them torturing the animals.

Mom: Oh, come on, they give them treat too.

(Shirley and Benjamin is in the crowd of the people watching the monkey's performance.)

Mom: Oh, look, that little monkey is so cute.

Dad: Cute? Hope so.

Mom: Oh, it is coming to us, come on, Ben, get a banana to it.

Dad: Me? No way, keep him away from me, please.

Mom: Why are you acting so strange today?

Dad: I've said that I've got a problem with the circus. I'm not kidding.

Mom: That's weird!

Mom: My husband is allergic to some animals especially monkeys. Every time we go to the zoo he would refuse to go to see the circus performance with me, which is my favorite. That's really funny. He is such a grownup. But, how could he be allergic to monkeys? I just don't understand it.
