I Hear... Monsters!

I was putting C to bed tonight and he was all snuggled in bed and I was just about to give him a final kiss goodnight and his head suddenly shot up and he started tugging at his ear.

"What's that noise?" he asked me.

I heard nothing unusual, so I said, "What noise?"

He replied, "Hmmm?" which is what he does when he doesn't know how to answer me.

He pulled his ear again and said, "What's that noise?" and I said, "What noise? What does it sound like?"

He looked at me sideways and said slowly, "It sounds like... monsters!"

So I said quickly, "It's not monsters! It's just a ringing in your ears! You don't have to be afraid!" I panicked, thinking it was going to be a long night of bad dreams.

He held his hand up in front of my lips to silence me. He then said, "It's gone. Phew! That was a close one!" He then laid his curly head down and said, "I love you, Mommy. Sweet dreams!"


Thinking of Monsters?
