Did you know that you are very strong?

The Monster at the end of this book was my favorite book EVER as a kid. They had a copy at my dentist's office, and I was actually happy to go the dentist so I could read it.

It had become a half-remembered thing "I know I read it at the dentist, I'm pretty sure it involved Grover," until last year, when I was over at my sister's and saw the copy she had gotten for my nephew. I pounced on it and was so incredibly excited "this was my favorite oh my gosh I love this book" that I think I scared the kid.

A few weeks later Little Ballerina and I were in the Star Market and walked past a display of Little Golden Books. I told her she could pick two. She grabbed another book (Goldilocks, I think) and then spotted Monster.

"Look Mommy! It's your favorite book! We should get this one!"

Thanks, kid. I owe you one.
