Tell Me A Story Tuesday - Monster Can't Sleep

It was Monster's bedtime. Mama tucked him in and gave him a kiss. She gave him his teddy monster.

Monster tried to sleep, but he tossed and turned. He stared up at the ceiling. But he could not sleep.

Monster crept out of the closet that he shared with the Boy. The Boy was sleeping in his bed. The Boy had a blanket. Monster had a blanket. The Boy had a pillow. Monster had a pillow. The Boy had a teddy BEAR.

Monster cried for his Mama. "I need a teddy BEAR like the Boy, so I can sleep, too!"

Mama fashioned him a teddy bear from random socks that she had found around the house.

Then, she tucked Monster back in bed with his new teddy BEAR. Monster hugged his BEAR and fell right to sleep.
