The Monkey Business Crew

Got an email from from Dad: “You actually had a previous run-in with monkeys when you were about 3 in Beppu, in northern Kyushu. While we were wandering about a hilly temple a monkey tried to grab Mom's purse. It actually was tugging on the purse when you ran up and gave it a swift kick. After the monkey turned and snarled at you, and backed off, it hung out on the hillside and hurled angry-sounding monkey epithets.”
