Cavan's friendly monster

When Cavan goes to bed at night and when she wakes up in the morning, she carries on conversations with her stuffed animals and dollies. But this morning she introduced me to her "friendly monster."

I walked into her room and commented on how she had put her socks on her favorite dolly, Betty. She then told me that she also put socks on her monster. Here's how the dialogue thereafter went:

Mommy: "Oh, where is your monster?"

Cavan: "Over there by the chair."

M: "Is he a nice monster?"

C: "Yes, he's friendly. He loves me and gives me hugs."

M: "That's so nice. What does he look like."

C: "He's red."

M: "Is he any other colors too?"

C: "Yes, pink. He has pink dots."

M: "Where are his dots, on his back or his belly?"

C: "On his back. And he's fuzzy."

M: "Oh good."

C: "And his feet are cold on the floor, so he's gonna wear my socks."

M: "Good girl, that's so nice to share your socks with your monster."

C: "Shh Mommy. Monster's sleeping."

I'm glad she has monster friends because it allows me to take a 15-minute vacation (I mean shower.)
