Koy, the adorable baby monkey, had always been his mom’s shadow. Wherever she went, he was there—clinging to her back, curling in her lap, and getting endless kisses. He was the prince of the house… until she arrived.
His mom’s new baby—a human daughter—was soft, tiny, and suddenly got all the attention. Mom was rocking the baby, feeding her, singing lullabies… and Koy? He was watching from the corner with narrowed eyes and twitching tail.
At first, he sulked. Then, the jealousy kicked in.
Koy started tossing toys, stealing pacifiers, and even blocking Mom’s path when she tried to walk with the baby. He strutted around the house like a tiny gangster, arms crossed and face full of sass. He’d snatch fruit off the table, puff his cheeks, and even give the baby’s blanket a good tug.
It wasn’t that Koy was bad—he was just heartbroken. He didn’t understand why Mom’s arms weren’t just for him anymore.
One quiet afternoon, while Mom fed the baby, she looked over at Koy and gently called his name. She opened one arm wide, inviting him in. Hesitating at first, Koy slowly crawled into her lap, curling beside the baby.
Mom smiled and kissed his head. “You’re still my baby too,” she whispered.
Koy peeked at the human girl, now cooing softly beside him. He gave her a curious poke—then a gentle pat.
Maybe she wasn’t so bad.
From that day on, Koy still had his fiery moments—but he also began to share Mom’s love. And little by little, the gangster melted… into a big brother. 💞🐒👶
