“There’s a monster under my bed!”
“Yes. He watches over you at night and chases away your nightmares.”

“There’s a monster in my closet!”
“Yes. She loves the smell of the laundry detergent I use, and she’s busy trying to organize your shoes.”

“There’s a monster under the stairs!”
“Yes. She collects spiders and he makes sure you don’t trip while going to get water.”

“There’s a monster right outside my window!”
“Yes. He’s pulling weeds from the garden and protecting us from burglars.”

“There’s a monster behind the couch!”
“Yes. He’s eating all the crumbs you left behind and hiding pennies in the cushions.”

“Oh. Then good night.”
“Good night, Dear.”

“There’s a ghost at my door!”
“His job is to keep out the nightmare bringers and to get me if any get past.”

“There’s a ghost under my piano!”
“He likes to hear you play and he whispers encouragement when you’re feeling bad.”

“There’s a ghost in the kitchen!”
“He only shows when something has spoiled in the fridge. Check the milk.”

“There’s a ghost on the bed, but it’s [deceased pet] so that’s okay. Just letting you know so you won’t chase him off.”
“Not a problem.”
