[under my bed]

Monster: I’m gonna grab this guy’s foot.

Monster 2: no can do Jim.

Monster: why not?

Monster 2: his whole leg is under the blanket.

Monster: so?

Monster 2: remember the Blanket Accords of 1822?

Monster: oh good call Murray.

Monster 2: that’s what I do Jim.
[still under my bed]

Monster: so what am I supposed to do just lay here and wait til he makes a mistake?

Monster 2: basically.

Monster: you ever think the Blanket Accords are too restrictive?

Monster 2: you think they’re bad you should read the Nightlight Laws.
[still under my bed]

Monster: his leg is out now can I grab him?

Monster 2: does he have a nightlight?

Monster: no.

Monster 2: ok you may proceed.

Monster: excell-

Monster 2: NO WAIT!

Monster: [sigh] what now?

Monster 2: [points at sun coming up] sunlight ceasefire.
I really love the idea that Monsters have to deal with the same rules and regulations we all have to deal with in order to get anything done.

If I turn this into a children’s book would you want to read it? 🥺
