Monster

This is a monster named Braed.

He is creepy, he is adorable, he talks like only Braed can talk, and he insists on calling me "poopyhead" on the phone.

I think that means he likes me.  His favorite book is "I Love You, Stinky Face", so I figure "poopyhead" is pretty close to "stinky face".  Right?

Had a pretty fascinating conversation with little Braed when I was back in Iowa.  We were discussing, what else, ET.  Braed informed me that ET lives in the "toaress"....

Braed: Yeah, cause ET lifss in the toaress!
Me: The toaress?
Braed: Yeah! The toaress!
Me: What's a toaress? I don't get it.
Braed: The toaress!!
Me: ????
Braed: The toaress! You know, wiff the really tall treesss!
Me: OH!  The FOREST! Yeah he does live in the FOREST, doesn't he?
Braed: Yeah!

About had an aneurysm figuring that one out.  It was hard hard hard wooork...as Braed might say :)
