An Iranian girl may have given father a real headache after she revealed on live TV that he named her toy monkey the same as that of the country’s president.
The gaffe happened during a live broadcast of a popular children show ‘Uncle Fornaj’, reports a local news agency. The show host asked a young caller whether she was a good and obedient girl.
She said ‘yes’ and that her father gave her a stuffed monkey doll. “My father calls it Ahmadinejad,” she responded to the follow-up question.
The media didn’t reveal whether Iran’s President Ahmadinejad knew about the incident or if the honest girl’s father faced any consequences for the choice of the toy monkey’s name.
