Seriously, who owns a monkey..?

OK, this story is a week or two old, but I can't believe I didn't blog about it earlier. I had to stop by David's Bridal last Friday to get fitted for a bridesmaid dress. For those of you who haven't been there, you walk in and there is a desk in front where a woman/consultant sits and can look items up for a particular wedding. And then to the left is the main desk with a register, etc. This particular Friday the consultant was working with a bride and there was a group standing at the register checking out. I stood between the door and consultant dress to wait my turn. It was late, I was tired and only half paying attention. Well the group next to me went to leave and as they passed I felt something smack my thigh. I figured it was just a kid and ignored it.

(The following conversation happened in a total 15 seconds)

I hear the consultant say, "O my God! Did you see that, it jumped on her!"
I turn around to watch the group leave and out of the corner of my eye I see a leash and something furry. Thinking it was only a dog I turned back around only to hear someone else say, "Did you see that! The monkey jumped on her!" Pointing and looking at me.
I turn around again and sure enough almost out of the door is a monkey - on a leash - wearing a diaper!!
I of course became the center of conversation because the monkey apparently jumped on my leg as the group was walking out. Still half a sleep, I never did find out why the monkey was in David's Bridal. But, it had been the talk of the evening before I got there. Seriously though, I didn't think you were allowed to own a monkey, much less bring it to David's Bridal. But, for all of you men out there, I guess it is legal...
