There are no such Things as Monsters

Yesterday evening, Ash was talking as she made her way down the stairs at the car-park. It was one step, talk, one step, talk and that went on for 2 flights of stairs. Suddenly she looked up and exclaimed : " Look ! The sky is getting darker !"
I pounced on this opportunity and told her that if she didn't hurry up, The Monsters will start to come out. Then she retorted : " Nooooooo, Ms E say there are no such things as monsters. Ms E say cannot say monsters ! "
Generations of parents have used monsters to spur(or scare) their children to eat faster, walk faster, go to sleep etc. This tactic was eliminated for us yesterday evening.
