A Problem With Monsters!

Recently I have had a lot of conversation in my house about monsters.

Ileyah thinks that it is entertaining to talk about creepy things in front of Brandina. Dontae just thinks it is funny, and runs through the house ROARRING!!!

Regardless, monsters have been a topic of interest lately. Even to the point that Brandina is afraid of my profile picture on facebook. She happened to look at my picture on the laptop from a weird angle, so it distorted the image.

So the other night Brandon and I were watching American Idol. We listened to one of the guys do a really bad job on the show, and as Brandon loves to do, he impersonated him. He was sure to add all of the raspiness to his voice and some of the gravel. It was hilarious. He mimicked the guy with a lot of added energy. We were having a blast!

The next thing that I know, Brandina comes screaming down the stairs! "Mom, the monsters are in my room again, they are right in my room. I am scared!!! Mom, get the monsters out of my room, they are roaring at me!!" She was devestated and scared to death. Brandon carried her up the stairs to try to figure out what she was hearing. He didn't seem to find anythinng that was making noise, so he put Brandina back to bed. She was too scared that she refused to go to bed. So, Brandon decided to scare the monsters away. He is a big guy, so it wasn't too hard for Brandina to believe that the monsters were afraid of him. In the process, Ileyah decides to tell Brandina that dad just scared them into the closet.

As Brandon went back downstairs to finish being an overly offensive American Idol, Brandina came plummeting back down the stairs again. Brandon ran back up and scared the monsters out of the closet.

It suddenly dawned on me what Brandina was scared of. It was her daddy's singing. I sat on the couch and laughed for about ten minutes before I decided to go upstairs to save the day!

I grabbed the Lysol, and told Brandina that this was monster poison. I sprayed it all over the room, and in the closet. I also told her that monsters will never come back because we sprayed monster posion, and it works forever. She went to bed fine after that.

I told Brandon once we got downstairs what she was afraid of. We both had a good laugh. It was so funny! I don't anticipate a future problem with monsters. Between Brandon scaring all of them away, and my monster poison, I think that we got the problem solved!
