Clip of the Week : When kids ask about monsters
What do you do if a monster comes into your room?
You might run away, hide in the closet, scream at the top of your lungs or even cry for mommy. Well, maybe that’s just me.
Now that we know how much of a wuss I am, let’s see what the average 3-year-old has to say.
This girl knows how the world works. It’s a jungle out there; you must kill or be killed. So if a monster enters your domicile you have just one choice: kick his ass.
She doesn’t even seem to understand why her mother finds her comments so funny. It’s a simple decision for her. If she doesn’t want to get her ass kicked, she must take the law into her own hands and lay the smack down on said monster.
The world apparently needs more 3-year-olds if it wants to accomplish anything in the future. Enough of this waiting for someone else to clean up your mess; 3-year-olds know that if you want to get anything done, you have to use physical violence. It really is the best diplomacy.
OK, don’t get all angry thinking the country has gone to hell because even 3-year-olds are allowed to curse in front of their parents. The girl learns her lesson at the end about not saying the A-word, and monsters everywhere learn their lesson not to mess with bull unless they want to get the horns.
