Monsters are coming!
Mommy and Daddy are standing in the kitchen talking while Swee’Pea and TheMonk play in our den and dining area.
Soon, Swee’Pea has made it under the kitchen table and is quickly joined by TheMonk. “We are hiding.” Swee’Pea tells us.
I get down on my belly and join them under the table, followed closely by Mommy. Now, all four of us are huddled under the table.
“We’re hiding.” Swee’Pea repeats. “The Monsters are coming.”
And there we sat, hiding from pretend monsters on a Saturday morning. We assured Swee’Pea and TheMonk that Daddy, Mommy and even Nutmeg the cat make sure that there are no monsters in our house. We’re safe from all monsters.
But at least we know we can all hide under the table if monsters do happen upon us.

Tell them that Nutmeg is constantly on the prowl for monsters… don’t offer to do what my brother did when Ane claimed that there were monsters under her bed. He told her that when he got back from Iraq, he’d come over and put a few rounds through her mattress to kill ‘em all. Apparently, the mere threat of gunplay was enough to scare them off.

It can be fun when the monsters start coming. We haven’t had them around for almost a year I think.
