When feeling down, try to deal with it like Monkey:

Most of the time, he looks British. Like, 19th Century retired general staff officer British.

At least when he's not tear-assing around with his sister ;)

He does have a dignified air about him, doesn't he?

I wonder how he manages it, given that he lets his sister suckle on his shoulder, likes belly-rubs, and hid under Derryck's bed crying after a dog visited. And yet... dignified.

Whereas his cousin somehow manages to look like a total goofus even in situations where she should seem totally dignified. I don't get it ;)

Just goes to show we're visual creatures and frequently poor at judgement, I think. :P

Perhaps some of it is that he's very symetrical, unlike Eo or Calliope.

Symmetry could well be part of it. I think there's also something in how he moves and holds himself, though. Even when he's doing something ridiculous, he can make it seem dignified.

...and speaking of doing ridiciulous things while looking dignified, last night he got himself shut in a cupboard while I was getting their dinner, and I looked all around the house for him while he was slowly (and quietly) bonking his head on the door until it opened. Three minutes late to dinner -- it's a Monkey record!
