This Monkey Learned To Wash Dishes

Trending on the web recently is this video from Louis Dumas, who spent several months working with monkeys in El Chapar, Bolivia. Below, we have a video of a monkey he called Pete, washing some dishes.

According to Dumas, "Pete had been observing me washing the pots for a few days before he took over and began completely and perfectly imitating me! The monkey on his back is a baby female called Pea. She is not his daughter. Pete had an unfortunate overbite which made him a particularly ugly monkey; he had very little success with the ladies and therefore looked after babies a lot."

Watch the adorableness below, then maybe send it to that unhelpful roommate from a while back as a subtle hint.
