When asked "Can you make me a (monkey, cat, dog, giraffe) by a teen or adult
I repeat loudly "You want me to make you a ____?" pat their shoulder, look
at them sadly and say " I'm sorry, I can't improve on what nature (genetics)
has made you already"
With kids I just inflate a balloon, tap them on the head and say "Poof.
You're a dog!"
or , more elaborately:
Can you scratch like this?
Can you wag like this?
Can you bark like this?
Poof! You're a dog!

Can you purr like this?... etc.

 or "You don't need my help to be a monkey!"

or "Why? Are you feeling bananas?"

    Why? Do you feel like swinging?

Sure I can make you a horse. It looks like you're halfway there already!

A giraffe? no, your neck isn't long enough.
