to this day, i admit i became a mother because i see motherhood as my own “Mutual of Omaha, Wild Kingdom”. my babies were my portal to living in my own human zoo (shoutout to Desmond Morris).

yeah. am a dork.

the thing is, the more i learned to see us as apes, the more i understood how powerful empathy is, especially in motherhood.

gorillas made me a better mom.

My family always watched Mutual of Omaha's "Wild Kingdom" because we only had a CBS and an NBC channel.
