And that’s just the taller ones. The flat and slithering ones just go under the nightlight. And don’t me started on the ones already waiting under your blanket. Hey, you smell that? I smell that. You know what that is? Fear. Now I understand why everyone says it’s so easy to smell.
When my girls were going through the Monsters Under the Bed phase, I used room freshener; monsters don’t like nice aromas and it chased them away every single time.
Actually, we solved our “monster under the bed” problems with beds that had drawers and no space, beneath. The “monsters in the closet” scenario was solved by a couple of wooden dowels mounted through the doors and hung with a chain (which also kept the dogs from siding the doors open to get at the "snacks and such each boy insisted in “hiding” in their rooms).
The ACTUAL good that came from these preventative measures against the Monsters in their lives was I actively involved both boys in the discussion of HOW to thwart the “monsters”, if they existed. We ALWAYS approached the problem as if it were REAL and involved the children in solving the problem.

However the ones that look in from outside that can make scary faces are the worst. Where is Bill Shatner when you need him?
