I saw a Washoe wearing a bowtie!
Washoe's wig was wild when she went to the mall. She wore it while walking with a walrus and a wallaby. Washoe walked and walked, but her wild wig would not stay where it should. A wicked wind was whistling and whispering while she walked. The walrus was worried the wig would fly away. The wallaby was winking and watching the wig wildly wiggle. When Washoe went to get some water, she wet her wig and the wind left. The wig was no longer wild and so Washoe walked west with the walrus and the wallaby.
Romantic love allows you to focus mating energy. Attachment sustains that relationship as long as necessary to raise your baby.
