I awoke with Theo gently patting my nose. Opening my eyes I realized the bed was shaking. I looked over at my wife who, strangely enough, had her head buried in her pillow and was muffling intense laughter.
I turned my head back to Theo "May I help you?"
"Yes. She said to ask you" she cleared her throat. "please stop" She then looked at me with a serious intent.
"stop what?" when I said this my wife started to almost thrash with laughter.
"She said you're the one to ask to stop farting in your sleep. Ok?"
My wife was loosing it over on her side now, even grabbing my pillow to cover her head.
"It's really bad and I can smell them down the hall" her nose crinkled. "So please stop"
"I'll try, but you might want to shut the door also"
"Good idea!" She hopped off the bed and scurried out of the room. A second later the bedroom door was gently pushed shut.
My wife, while still laughing at me came out from under the pillows. "Now go to bed stinky"
A nice pillow fight ensued.

We got there late, but David said he understood. Theo is a very sweet little monsa, and just as pretty as Monsa hand kept saying that she was. She really liked her gift. They played while we talked with David.
“How long till you move to Florida?”
"Oh, I have a certain amount of leeway there. I need to move soon, but want to be sure that ya’ll and Theo will be OK. I know that this is going to be difficult for her.” I had to agree, I know how much Monsa loves us. “I know that you are probably worried about having another monsa in the house, but I believe that you will see that girls have a civilizing effect on the guys. I really don’t know how you have managed with just a single boy in the house; they are really quite a handful.”
We talked about monsas for a while, and he told me about how he had met his first ones. We discussed monsa’s fascination with chocolate over Yankee pot roast, and the difficulties involved in raising monsas while enjoying triple chocolate cake, with chocolate frosting, and chocolate chip ice cream. The monsas particularly loved dessert.
I agreed to let her spend the night to see how things worked out, and so we asked her if she wanted to come and spend the night.
She looked a bit nervous and worried for a moment, and once we had promised that she would be coming back in the morning, agreed. Monsa hand was delighted, and then looked moderately terrified for a moment.
On the way out the door he scurried up my arm and asked me if I could show her around the house while he cleaned his nest.
CLEANED HIS NEST!!!!
Maybe having a girl around won’t be such a bad thing.

"Monsa! Monsaaaa! Where are you". This was getting tiresome. We were supposed to have left an hour ago to be at David's by 6 but Monsa hand had disappeared on us. I was checking the downstairs and my wife was checking the upstairs. I thought he might have been mad at us, he had hidden before when real mad about being grounded, but that wasn't the case this time.
"Monsa! I am going to keep looking until I find you so come out now or else" I said this in my drill instructor voice.
"No! Go away" The small voice came out from under the furnace in the corner. So I threw down a tarp and laid down and looked under it. Huddled way far in the back was a dark form in the shadows.
"Scared?"
"No! I don't get scared. I just don't want to go out tonight" His small voice said much more then his words ever did. He was scared. Scared of failing and not winning the heart of his green eyed girl with the bow. He was going to meet her for the first time formally and he was not sure what to do.
"Listen guy. We talked about this remember. Act nice and be yourself. She really likes you, and I did see that kiss, I just didn't say anything" I found the whole things strange. Here I was on my belly talking a small scared monsa into going on his first date. Could it get any weirder?
I suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Yeah! Lets just stay at home. She's not the girl for you anyway."
"What?"
"Well for one she is rather ugly"
"No. She's pretty. I like her"
"Well if you are going to stay under there I will just have to call David and tell him to find another guy for her."
"What?"
"Yeah. He should have one by tomorrow." I started to get up "So I'll just call him and cancel for tonight. Does pizza sound good?"
Well that did it. Threaten to take his dream girl away and he will fight for her. He shot out from under the furnace faster then I had ever seen him move and hit the stairs running.
"No. No. No. No. She's mine."
By the time I got upstairs he was sitting by the front door holding his chocolate sampler box tied with the ribbon.
"I'm ready. Let's go"
So out to the car we went and our little guy started his first true date.

Three times in one day. Normally monsa hand bathes once a day, more if he is messy and cleaning with my wife, but today he has bathed three times, and for a girl.
"Are you sure I look good?"
"For the third time YES!" darn he was nervous. "You looked good the first time, the second time, and now. Why are you bathing so much. We don't go over there for dinner for several days"
"I know. I just...I'm scared!" with that he scrunched his head down a bit and got serious.
"Biggy. I really like her and want to make a good first impression on her....that's what Doctor Phil says you should do."
"No more TV for one. Two. Quit using my cologne. You stink. Three...Monsa. She likes you too. You don't need to be scared. Come here."
As I was laying on the couch he crawled up onto my belly and sat down. I started to scritch him and put myself into the fatherly advice mode.
"You are a great monsa hand and she will like you, and if she moves here she will like the house. You do have your gift ready?"
"Yes!" He jumped off me and ran over to the closet where his nest is. A second later, with a lot of grunting, he pushed out a small sampler box that had a ribbon wrapped around it. I lifted him and it up to my chest.
"Want to know what's in her gift?"
Dumb question "Yes. Open it monsa"
With a little more flare then normal he brought out the items in it.
"Here are three of the bigger hearts and here are two white chocolate resees cups and here is some perfume..."
"Stop! Perfume?"
"Yeah." He pulled out one of those small tube samplers and showed me its label. Oscar. "Elizabeth gave it to me. She said girls like smelly stuff." Ah. Advice from the wife. Monsa hand thought good smelly stuff was old chocolate wrappers in his nest.
"Well that is a very thoughtful gift. I'm rather proud of the thought you put into it. So are you feeling better now?"
With a "yep" he took off and left me to my TV. A few seconds later I hear the water in the sink running again.
Four!
