My mother is a special person.

My mother has never known a stranger. My friends feel very comfortable around my mom because she acts more like a friend than a parent. I come home sometimes to find my friends hanging out with my mom without me even knowing! My mom even throws parties for my friends on special occasions!

My mom threw a wonderful birthday party for my friend Monkey.

My friends love to reminisce about one party in specific that my mom threw which stands out above all the rest. The party was a surprise for my friend Michael who when we were young I nicknamed Monkey due to his amazing tree-climbing power. My mom and Monkey are really close because he’s been my friend since we were babies. For Monkey’s 10th birthday, my mom took a group of our friends to the city zoo for an afternoon of fun. Unbeknownst to myself or anyone else, my mom arranged for the zoo officials to set up a party for Monkey right outside the monkey exhibit! My mom goes all out with decorations. The zoo officials decorated the monkey exhibit with noise makers, balloons, hats and streamers!

There were custom-made banners everywhere at the zoo.

Before we made it to the monkey exhibit that afternoon, we noticed custom banners all over the zoo that all directed us to the primates. At first, we thought these banners were nothing more than directional banners, but as we started noticing them more and more our curiosity got the better of us and we followed the vinyl banners to the monkey exhibit. When we entered the exhibit it was like entering the pages of The Jungle Book. The zookeepers had closed the exhibit to everyone except our group, and inside there were monkeys climbing free all over everything! For decoration, there were yellow streamers stretching from the banana tree in the center of the room out across to the wall that lined the exhibit. There were also big bushels of bananas cautiously set up in different locations throughout the room, as well as empty barrels with monkeys crawling in and around them. It was an amazing sight!

Look at that big empty wall over there!

Once we were all in the room, my mom pointed our attention to an empty wall on the far side of the exhibit. To our surprise, a huge custom banner unraveled all of a sudden and covered up the bare wall. The custom banner said “Happy Birthday Monkey!” The custom banner was the biggest I had seen that day! The other banners I saw outside the monkey exhibit now made sense, as they matched the giant happy birthday custom banner.

Monkey’s surprise 10th birthday party was one I will never forget!

Monkey had a huge smile on his face. My mom made sure that he kept the custom vinyl banner with his name on it, even though it takes up a lot of space! That banana shaped vinyl banner represents everything that is great about my mom!
