Monsters and...

Seven-year-old Granddaughters

“Grandma, what kinds of monsters live in your house?”

“I don’t have monsters in my house. I’ve lived here as old as your dad is and I’ve never seen a single monster. And, I've looked under every bed and in every closet," I said trying to cover all monster hideouts.

“I saw one.”

“Where?”

“In that one bedroom.” Her eyes narrowed. Her voice got lower. “I saw it out of the corner of my eye. I saw... its shadow.”

“Show me.” Goosebumps danced on my arms.

“It’s gone.”

Where does she get that imagination?

I wonder.

Have a great monster of a weekend.

The open mind of a child is an amazing thing to share.

Enjoy, they turn into teenagers!

Happy Monster hunting, and Happy Mom's Day!
If only we all still possessed that type of imagination. Not about monsters, though.

Ya'll need some of my Monster Spray. Get's rid of any kinda monster guaranteed. I took a can of air freshener (be sure it is a different fragrance than you usually use, kids are smart that way) Make your one Monster exterminator label and glue it on the can. Waah~la....one little spray...no more monsters.

God bless ya and have a marvelous Mother's Day weekend.
