My own mother just reminded me of this...
When I was about three or four in the late seventies, my older sister Paula brought home her new best friend "Marcella".

Marcella was from Jamaica, and had just moved to the country with her parents and struck up a great friendship with my sister that has lasted a life time.

Anyway, my little tiny toddler self on first seeing Marcella stood stunned in the doorway, and then gently tugging on my mothers skirt I pointed at Marcy, and proclaimed "LOOK MUMMY - MONKEY!!"

Thank christ that woman had a sense of humour.
