You both give legs to the realization I first read in The Mature Mind by Harry A Overstreet that "...unless we gain empathy for others as we grow older we'll just end up being big kids with a lot of power".

Thanks for sharing.

I have never heard of the expression “everybody and his monkey”. I’d always heard “everybody and his dog”. Regardless, it did not occur to me to see the monkey drawing as a slur on black people. Glad you were able to have a conversation that resolved the misunderstanding.
