There's a Monster In My Bed

[billroper]

Actually, there's a monster in Katie's bed. Or so I'm told.

Most nights after Katie finally crawls into bed, she asks me to fill her water bottle. When I return with the full bottle, Katie is invisible under the covers.

"Where's Katie?" I ask. "What am I supposed to do with this water bottle?"

A low growl comes from underneath the covers.

"Oh, my! A monster has eaten Katie! Come, monster, spit Katie up."

Massive tickling of the monster ensues with adlibbed dialog until I finally pull the covers back and reveal Katie's head, now that she has been spit up by the monster in her bed.

"Monster" needs about 2 more syllables to properly scan to "Alligator in my House" - but it's stuck on repeat in my head now, regardless. :)

It seems to be a fairly silly monster, which would add the missing syllables...

Whereas the song "Spider in the Bath" (from a an old BBC kids show, "Spider") is what popped into *my* head:

The monster underneath her bed ate her up! :)
Cute.

And she doesn't even know the song. :)

I just thought I'd mention: you have a fantastic, fascinating capacity to post just after I go to bed. No matter how late or early I turn in. If you should ever have reason to wonder whether I'm still up, ask yourself: "Have I posted to LJ this evening yet? Or, was I just about to?" If yes, then I'm not.

I see a filk song from you, maybe soon?

[billroper]

I'll have to see about that. :)
