The Mommy Monster

As any parent will attest, children grow up all too rapidly. Part of this journey begins when they start trying to assert their independence. Perhaps trying to manipulate a later bedtime, their ability to choose their own clothing or food, or being allowed to help make some of the rules.  This delightful story is about two brothers who decide mommy’s kisses are for babies and they are too grown-up for such things. They no longer want to be kissed goodnight or goodbye.

Their mother comes up with an idea in which she can still get kisses from the boys without labeling them as babies, and allowing them to feel they are more grown up. Her solution turns getting her kisses into a fun game the boys enjoy and look forward to, even carrying it forward to when they have their own children someday.

Who knew a “Mommy Monster” could someday turn into a “Daddy Monster”?
