Black Friday (Here there be monsters)

[beldarzfixon]

I’m wearing my coat. I have my shoes on. I have my mother’s blessing as I reach for that eye-level knob to the front door, and step outside alone. It’s a beautiful November day in Arkansas.

Time to go hunting.

I know it’s up to me. Mom said we’d have monster soup for lunch, and there’s no better monster hunter than a four-year-old boy.
Outside, I look

as everything that happens in a little boy's imagination is absolutely true

Love the story itself, but this is the best part!

My admiration for you has ratcheted up a couple of notches. I did Black Friday ONCE. Never ever again. Someone actually tok a toy out o my basket when my back was turned. Another lady, someone took everything out of her basket and set it on the floor to take her basket.

ALL I CAN SAY IS WHAT A WOMAN.

People go crazy at those sales. We spent that Friday this year driving home from relatives and didn't bother with the stores. Last year we only did a Wal-Mart midnight sale which had a couple of things we really wanted/needed. (A fight broke out there, but we managed to steer clear of it.)

I love this! It reminds me of the boys who lived next door when I was that age.

Boys like me =)
Thanks!

This is sweet! Here's hoping your sister raises some superb monster hunters for you to train!

I have four nephews/nieces by two sisters (who live within a mile of each other, so the kids are all like siblings) and both encourage strong imaginations. So I suspect a hunt may one day occur.

That's awesome! Looks like you might have a monster hunting army!!

And I just looked down and noticed that my pj top is on inside out. The penguins are getting an eyeful. Which is totally off topic, but...

"we will make those dark shadows quake with fear. Then we will feast." Love this!

This entry made my night. ^_^
