Today Sam received in the mail a precious surprise from his Aunt Ruth, a set of new cookie cutters. You may note from earlier posts that Sam's been "helping" Susan make frosted sugar cookies. Well, Ruth heard of this and send along shapes including a pig, moon, heart, and various others, including Sam's favorite, an airplane.Sam played with them constantly this evening. Even when he was allowed to watch Winnie the Pooh he requested that they watch with him.
When, after dinner, he went to play by himself, he came back, saying he was scared of monsters. (He had gone all of three feet from the table.) Then he said something we never expected to hear:
I'm scared maybe a monster will take my cookie cutters and put them in jail.
Hard to know exactly how to respond to that one! Feel free to add your suggestions in the comments...

Well, it makes a strong case for putting your things away, doesn't it? Everybody knows that monsters' fingers are just too thick and klutzy to open a gallon ziploc bag. Poor things! Shut out forever from their hearts' desires because somebody inconsiderately picked up their toys!
