Like the sun

May the sun remind us that even if there are clouds causing darkness, it won't last forever and still, we need to rise to do our job of bringing light to this world.

Proof

"OK teacher woman, I am going to speak slowly so you won't need to ask any questions when I am done. My monster ripped up my homework. Now since I know you wouldn't believe me, I have brought him to school. He is in my backpack. Look at your own risk. He could have scabies or contagious skin tags or the Spooky Pox. That's what I thought, just back away. Thanks for believing me. You're not as old a feeble as I once thought."

Hurry Up

Could you please focus? We have 5 minutes between the last cloud coverage and the next so please, do your business.

The rains should remind us that downpours never last.

Stories by Bear

People tell a lot of stories, in fact, they can say anything they like. It doesn't mean we need to believe them. We believe the stories we retell, so if you want to be happy, retell the beautiful tales, the ones about love and luck and friendship. Be sure to tell stories with happy beginnings and happy endings. If you follow these simple rules, your lightness may lift a few others. This is the story I choose to repeat.

International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day to all of those women who were and still are those sassy, smart, quirky, tom-boyish, fancy, quiet, obnoxious, freckled, plain-faced girls that make this world awesome!

New Pet

I don't think mom will notice you. You are small and pretty quiet. I bet you don't eat much. You look like you keep yourself pretty clean. One more human added to our family can't hurt much. Yep, I am sure mom will let me keep you.

Happy Leap Year

Here he is!

"MOM...moooooomm, there you are. Here is the monster that was just about to suck my brains out through my toes because you didn't come when I didn't call you. He is the one that lives under my bed who eats those toes we were speaking about. Now you'll need to go to the store in about 10 minutes because he is about to eat all our food. He says he prefers corn dogs made from turkey not beef and would like some orange popsicles, guacamole and chips, and for dessert, chocolate devil's food cake. Come on, you saw that one comin'. How do I know what he wants? Because he is my monster and likes what I like. Now hurry before starts workin' on my toes again!"

I am done::muichan

"This is the end. I give up. I am just going to lie here and let him finish me off. Why don't parents ever believe their children? We only lie about unimportant things like borrowing things that aren't ours or about homework or about putting our boogers under pillows, but never about monsters. If I live to tell another lie, I'll...OK, maybe I should stop lying. This may be my punishment. Is that why you are here Mr. Monster. What? I don't.....Oh, sorry....your mouth is full."

Monster under my bed::muichan

"MOM! MMMOOOOOMMMM! There is a monster under my bed! No, not on my head....under my bed! Please look! I can't just go to sleep, he'll eat my toes...I just know it. Mom...MOM! Mom, mom, mom, mom....can you at least get me some hot dogs. I will stick them under my blanket and the monster will think they are my toes. He'll bite on those instead. Wait, can you bring me an extra? I'm kinda hungry. Thanks."

Whhhaaat?

"Whaaattt? I can't hear you! Did you say you gotta go? Well, there is no bathroom here. Whhaatt? No, I don't gotta go. No I don't. I went before we left! Oh, you mean we have to go home. Fine."
