By all reports, though, that's not what Jackson had in mind. According to numerous sources, and his own biographer, Michael Jackson was just an incredibly lonely man, and a man that deep down was still a 10-year-old. He loved playing games, making friends, and eating junk food, just like any normal kid. Except, of course, he wasn't actually a kid.
If you need an example of this behavior, you don't need to look any further than Bubbles the chimp. Remember that guy? Jackson bought him in 1984, more or less to have a companion to keep him company at all times. At the Neverland Ranch, Bubbles would sleep in a crib in Jackson's room, eat candy with Jackson in the theater, use the toilet, and even helped out around the house. Does that sound... normal?
