MONKEY AND THE MAMMARIES IN VA. COURTHOUSE

BANANAS
MONKEYING around - a woman turned up to court with a monkey in her bra. 
Wearing a pink and white dress the tiny marmoset wasn't spotted by officials as her owner entered the  Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court in Amherst County, Va.
It was only when she went into an office to do some paperwork that they noticed the tiny creature clinging to her bra.
"I can't understand why the deputy didn't see her - she was peeking out," the woman told The Lynchburg News & Advance.
When the woman referred to a daughter, a puzzled official asked
where the daughter was and the woman pulled the monkey out of her bra, the newspaper reported.

In an interview with the newspaper, the woman said the marmoset, named Cara, is 7 weeks old and requires constant attention.
She said: "When you first get them, they're just like a preemie. She's just like a baby, she's starting to teethe. I mean, caring for them is just like caring for a human."
The woman said she bought the animal on an online auction site and had its clothes specially made.
The woman's identity is being withheld for family reasons.
Asked who let the marmoset through the metal detector, deputies quipped: "It wasn't armed."
