Mia the Monkey

Amelia was off by herself for an hour or so the other day.  She came back with her sketchbook filled with 7 pages of sketches. They were called The Dress Up Friends.  It was a series of different animals that each had a special power. For instance, she had a dinosaur who could travel in time (how else could he get to the present to save the day??).  However, the one that caught my attention was Mia the Monkey.  She is a monkey handcuffed between two trees, but her power is "Finding happiness in dark times". Now, I may be reading too much into this, but I can't help but think she is Mia (one of her nicknames) and the two trees handcuffing her are her lame parents.  Luckily, she's able to use her powers to remain happy despite our dark ways.
