Chinese Zodiac

We went to a Chinese restaurant. It was in Clawson called Lim Palace. The placemats are the Chinese animal signs that give a description of which animal you would be according to your year you were born.  Mine says that I am the monkey and this is what it says:

You are very intelligent and are able to influence people. And enthusiastic achiever, you are easily discouraged and confused. Avoid Tigers. Seek a dragon or a rat. It is funny because it says to avoid tigers and that is my dad and I do not want to avoid him.  It does say to seek a rat and that would be my mom.
