This sounds familiar

From an article in today’s Washington Post about Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
This brings back memories of the late ’90s and early ’00s, when we lived in an apartment next to the National Zoo.
I would work some weekends as a volunteer in the Great Ape House, where zookeepers gave us this exact same instruction for interacting with the big male silverback gorillas.
