CONFESSION:  I use “monster repellant.”

I’m sure you can guess how this happened.

My three-year-old comes out of bedroom for the third time saying, “Mommy, there’s a monster in my room.”  What did I do?

MAMA:  Do you remember putting on mosquito repellant this summer?

BABYGIRL: Sure, Mommy.  So squitoes won’t bite me.

MAMA:  (Whips out bottle of Febreze) Do you know what this is?

BABYGIRL: (excitedly) No, Mama, what?  What is it?

MAMA: It’s Monster Repellant!  It makes the monsters stay away.  Let’s go spray your bedroom so no monsters can come in.

Now we are in Baby Girl’s bedroom

BABYGIRL: Get the closet Mommy . . . Monster’s like the closet!

MAMA:  Ok, sweetie.  And under the bed too!

BABYGIRL:  Hey, that smells good!  Why are you putting monster pellant on my curtains????  Monsters don’t hide in curtains????

That’s what you call multi-tasking!  All monsters are gone and Baby Girl’s room smells like a fresh spring rain!  Now I just need to go and monster-proof/Febreze my living room, master bedroom and all the other areas of my home!
