Monsters

Comma has reached the age where he is afraid of monsters at night. We're getting a little more insight into his fear than when Green Pea went through a similar stage because he talks to his brother about it. The other morning when he got up he was acting a little fearful and wanted to be snuggled. That led to this exchange:

Comma: (apprehensively) The monsters are dead?
M.E.: Yes
Green Pea: There aren't any monsters.
Comma: Yes there are. But now they're dead 'cause the sun came up.
(Long pause)
Comma: Dinosaurs are dead?
M.E.: Yes
Green Pea: No, they're extinct.
M.E.: Are you worried about dinosaurs?
Comma: No, they got stinked.
Green Pea: Are there monsters?
Comma: (indignant) No! They're dead. The sun came up and killed them!
