Sam crawled into bed with us this morning and somehow the conversation turned to who he’s going to marry when he’s older:
Sam: I’m going to marry Jessie! (His older first cousin)
Me: Uh no. You can’t marry your cousin.
Sam: I’m going to marry Hazel! (His sister)
Me: Uh no. You can’t marry your sister.
Sam: I’m going to marry Twig (Our cat)
Me: Nope. Not gonna happen.
Sam: Oh right, I can’t marry Twig. He’s a . . . . boy.
Me laughing uncontrollably: No, that’s not the problem.
Making monsters is Dr. Nutt’s specialty. Her best creations are the Yummy Mummy, the Boogie-Woogie Man, and her masterpiece, Dracula-la-la! who loves to sing Opera music. It’s music to Dr. Nutt’s ears, but the villagers don’t like the idea of singing vampires roaming around their town. When they storm her laboratory they are in for a pleasant surprise.
