The news these days is often depressing at worst and frustrating at best. It’s easy to let it get us down. Never fear… The News Blender has you covered. Once a week we feature Something Good and, in return, all you have to do is tell us something good that has happened to you this week, something you are thankful for, a joke, a cute animal story, an inspiring tale of heroics, a Random Act of Kindness… SOMETHING good.
Today’s something good is a laugh.
We rarely feature a joke here but that is to be rectified today and by a gorilla, no less.
Higashiyama Zoo, in Japan, houses a family of gorillas. Annie, who was born in 2013, loves to play pranks. In this video, Annie plays a sneaky little joke on her father Shabani. As the family is returning to their enclosure, Annie waits for her mother, Ai, to move through the door, then quickly grabs mom’s rear end and ducks behind the wall, making it appear that Shabani was the culprit. Ai is rightfully miffed and Shabani takes the heat.
I’ve known humans who weren’t half as clever as Annie with her clever little prank, which she pulled off flawlessly.
The video is cued up to the moment the prank that happens (around 7:30).
Pranks, done well, are certainly something good so have a quick laugh as you enjoy your Memorial Day weekend. If you have a veteran that you’d like to memorialize today, please do so in the comment section.
Now it’s your turn… Tell me something good!
