Raising Cubby
““My room!” he exclaimed proudly. His mom had spent a lot of time making it perfect, and it showed. The bed had nice soft sheets and a warm, tasty blanket. His toys were in a big box in the corner, except for his favorites, which covered the floor. There were even books and clothes, in drawers and in piles. The only problem was the monsters.
I don’t know why kids are scared of monsters, but every one I have ever observed has that fear. It must be genetic. I cannot recall telling Cubby to be scar...ed of monsters even once. Yet he feared them, and I remember feeling the same way as a little boy. There are things out there that eat kids. You just know it.
I remembered my own fears of being eaten, and my parents assuring me that monsters were not real. It didn’t work. The problem was, my dad was a philosopher, and he relied on logic, which failed us horribly when it came to monsters. He had no answer to the monster paradox, which said: If monsters ate every kid they caught, there would be no survivors to tell us they were real, because the kids who knew the truth would all be in the monsters’ stomachs.MoreLess
