Closet Monsters pattern

Yes, our wildest dreams were confirmed! The annual expedition recently revealed an unusually high concentration of the previously dreaded bedtime monsters lurking in the children’s closet. Surprisingly, as colorful as they are, an entire herd of these beasts went undetected by the adult sector of the family. Although telltale signs were evident, the adults failed to recognize early signals of the monsters presence. Closet doors opened without struggle. Occasionally open floor space was sited. Gluttonous laundry baskets were left unfed.

By hanging out in the far reaches of their natural habitat disguised in our own children’s clothes, the closet monsters were able to evade detection. Reports of monster outbreaks are beginning to come in from all over. It is suspected that grandmas everywhere are fostering the reproduction of these little monsters while the children are secretly offering aid and sanctuary.

Early warning: If you find your children getting a sudden urge to hang up their clothes, organize their closets or cease mentioning the bedtime monsters, an immediate inspection is in order. The monsters are easily recognizable. Described as having prominent, hooked noses and tufts of hair between their two horns, closet monsters are brightly colored with striped ridges on their crocheted bodies. If you spot one, please report it to the TY authorities as soon as possible.
