In reply to the discussion: Criticizing Clinton for not apologizing to Lewinsky is divisive, so it shouldn't be brought up on DU [View all]teach1st
(6,022 posts)10. I'd like to point out that
A Google search for "house training a monkey" (search with quotes) returns two results. Two. Which is two more than a Google search (again, with quotes) for "house training a giraffe."
Be that as it may, I'd rather have a giraffe in my house than a monkey, house trained or not, as long as there's a raised ceiling. Monkeys are known to sling poo, whereas giraffes can't sling for shit.
I don't think anybody wants an elephant in the room, whether they should talk about it or not.

OP
Yes, bringing up the past is uncomforable and painful and should not be done.

Monkeys also play with themselves unashamedly, which is pretty awkward when Grandma visits
