Transcript:
Miss Wormwood: Here is your paper, Susie. Very good. Here is yours, Calvin. By the way, you can stop signing your work "Calvin, boy of destiny," and I think your time would be better spent studying than drawing "official notary seals" at the bottom. Susie: Boy of destiny?! Calvin: That's right. Boy of destiny! Susie: Everyone I know thinks your destiny is a private cage in the primate house. Calvin: Your destiny is to have a smile that's all gums.

“A private cage in the primate house”? I don’t get it. Humans are primates already, and, as the Kratt brothers, Martin and Chris, pointed out on their 1990s show, Kratts’ Creatures, we do many things that monkeys do. A major component of the diet of the pygmy marmoset (the world’s smallest monkey) of South America is tree sap. We humans consume maple tree sap as well, after we boil it into syrup. Many primates, such as capuchin monkeys, eat insects, and according to The Big Book of Animal Records (1985) by Annette Tison and her husband, Talus Taylor, Amazonian tribespeople consider the larvae of the Titan beetle a delicacy. However, in this book, the Titan beetle is mistakenly referred to as the Hercules beetle, and the actual Hercules beetle is referred to as the rhinoceros beetle (they are featured on page 26, along with the Goliath beetle of Africa).
