Baby monkey being a baby monkey

xenithThe adult monkeys in City Park don't actually do a lot. Mostly they sit around and groom each other, the move to another spot and groom someone else. Occasionally they chase each other or swing on a rope or strip branches from a tree. So I was amused to catch this bit of action as I was leaving yesterday.
There was a baby monkey (who I'll refer to as "he" for clarity) sitting on a rock doing typical baby monkey things i.e. picking things up from the rock and seeing if they're edible, when an adult female came along.
She pulls him over with, I assume, the intent to engage in grooming like the other babies are.
But he's having none of that, and runs away
to hide in thislog, but she scruffs him and pulls him out.
