Selena and Ronaldo, the tiny twin baby monkeys, usually did everything together—napping, eating, exploring, even clinging to their caregiver at the same time. But when bath time arrived this morning, Selena’s mood took a sharp turn. While Ronaldo happily splashed in the warm water, Selena sat on the edge of the tub with her arms crossed, her lower lip trembling in dramatic protest.
The caregiver gently called her name, tapping the water to show it was warm and safe. Ronaldo even reached out a hand, inviting her in with a playful squeak. But Selena turned her head away, pretending she couldn’t hear anyone. Her tiny face scrunched up, eyes watering as she pushed her feet deeper into the towel beneath her. She was determined to ignore the bath—and determined to let everyone know.
Ronaldo dunked his hands in the water and splashed tiny droplets toward her, hoping to cheer her up. Instead, Selena let out a loud cry, lifting her arms as if the world had offended her. Her tantrum grew with every second—little squeals, sharp kicks, and dramatic sobs that shook her whole tiny body. The caregiver tried to soothe her, rubbing her back gently, but Selena wasn’t ready to listen.
Her brother crawled closer and placed his forehead softly against hers—a gesture of comfort. Selena paused, sniffling, her cries fading into tiny hiccups. Slowly, she reached out and touched his hand. Ronaldo squeaked happily, pulling her closer to the warm water.
The caregiver eased her in, supporting her gently. This time, Selena didn’t fight. She leaned against her brother, finally calming as he splashed happily beside her.
Within minutes, the tantrum was forgotten. Selena’s moody tears were replaced by soft giggles as she and Ronaldo bathed side by side—twins once again, together in everything, even the drama.
