Mom and Dad Were Born in the Year of the Monkey

I was just curious as to what happened the year they were born so that I grabbed this one from Mommy Iceah of Chicken Heart. Hope you don't mind my grabbing this one Mommy Iceah!

I tried to find out what happened the year I was born (2008) but it looks they still haven't got any in their database yet. The latest year they had on the list was 1995.
