Automatically translated from Spanish
Playful antics, capers, or tricks. This definition relies on a pun: while a single trick is a Gracia, a group of monkeys performing them is described by the plural form, which sounds identical to the word for thank you. (In the Dominican Republic, the final s is often dropped or aspirated, making the words sound exactly the same).
At the zoo the daughter watches the monkeys, jumping, hitting each other and doing stunts, and asks her mother: Mom, what are they doing? The mother answers: Gracia, daughter... they are doing Gracia.
