My four year old came sleepily down the stairs with the craziest hair this morning holding a stuffed bear. I asked her how she slept and she said she slept fine but her little bear was scared when the monster showed up.
“Well,” I said as if this were a reasonable reaction. “I mean, who’s not scared when the monster shows up?”
“The monster,” she answered.
“Yeah, well him,” I agreed. “But I meant everyone else.”

"Him?" How do you know the monster wasn't female?

Since it is St. Nicholas Day I did not think a Krampus could be a she, but now that you mention it…

"Yes, Newt, there really are monsters."
(Two points to the first person to name that movie without looking it up.)

WHOOPS! Impossible, since I messed up the quote!
Here it is in full:
"Newt: My mommy always said there were no monsters – no real ones – but there are.
Ripley: Yes, there are, aren't there?
Newt: Why do they tell little kids that?
Ripley: Most of the time it's true."
OK now and that should give it away too. Oh and, btw, they are always male. Female monsters are called something else.
