Well true love has blossomed here in the Biggy household all due to an electric storm.
My wife and I first made the discovery that Theo was very afraid of lightning and thunder during the first storm we had. It had been going on for just a few minutes when I felt her touching my hand gently. I looked over and saw a very scared Theo.
"Can I stay in here tonight?" The scared look on her face was sad to behold.
Well of course I said she could. My wife and I got a small throw pillow and laid it between our pillows and she rested there during stormy nights.
She was suffering a little insecurity and the storm just was too much at the time. Every once in a while I would feel her reach over and lay a small pad on my shoulder to make sure we were still there. Normally right when the storm ended she would shuffle off back to her nest in the guest room. It became such a regular occurrence that when storms were expected I would go ahead and lay the pillow there even before she came in the room.
Until that one night.
A large noisy storm had started early that night so when my wife and I went to bed we got the small pillow out and laid it down. We knew she would show up when she needed the company.
My wife woke me up by shaking me. "Wake up. Wake up gunner, Theo's not here and the storm has been going on for an hour. Go check on her. Now!". So as the good husband I went to go check on her. Why my wife couldn't was beyond me, but a husband has to do what he has to do.
When I got to her room I noticed that her nightlight was off. She always slept with it on. Monsa hand had even picked it our for her. It was a Curious George nightlight. She was also just a bit timid of the dark. I looked in and noticed one thing. She was gone. Her stuff was there, but not her. So walking through the dark I started checking each room and whispering her name. I of course went right to the kitchen to start with to see if she was into the chocolate. But no luck.
Then it hit me.
I walked down stairs and looked quietly into Monsa hands nest area. There she was. Monsa hand must have pulled a pillow off of the couch for her because there she was asleep next to monsa hand. He was asleep on his curious George doll. But since I was not there to comfort her she had reached out in her sleep and had her small arm laid upon his. They looked so small and in love in that simple pose.
I just backed up and walked upstairs with out a noise. I informed my wife that love was in the air and all was well with the two furry ones.

Well today was a good day, well at least it ended good. Monsa hand broke a basic rule today and it could have turned out very bad but didn't.
It started, from what they told me, when Monsa hand wanted to show Theo the Koi in the pond next door. He has always looked at them as sort of his. Now I had always told him to make sure he stayed out of sight of others because some people would react badly to monsters. He understood it and was real good, but this time he slipped.
"that's the smallest one there and that's the biggest one there. It is almost all orange" Monsa was telling Theo about the Koi because he could identify each one individually. Although they were in the neighbors backyard I allowed him to visit if he was careful.
"Did you name them? Because you have to name your pets." Theo, because she considered the dog that lived next to her as her pet was the authority on pet management.
Yes. The big one is named George because I like Curious George and I like the big fish the best. He's big"
Well this is when it happened. From behind, and above them a voice spoke out. "since the big one is a girl she may not like a boy name like George."
Theo said they twirled and was about to run when the person spoke the words that would control every monster on the planets.
"Want some chocolate?" There stood Mrs. Kane holding out in her hand two small chocolate bars. She sat them down and backed up and sat down on the edge of her porch.
"I thought there was only one walker living nearby, but it looks like you have found a friend. I'm Mrs Kane, and you are?"
By now they were chomping on the candy bars and through full mouths muttered their names.
"Monster hand and Theo. That is a nice pair of names. My uncle, when I was so so young, had a pair living with him and Aunt Polly. They were named Red and Rose. I loved going over their to visit. I was the only niece that knew they lived there. I accidentally dropped a chocolate bar one day and before I could pick it up the two had run out from under the couch, grabbed it, and were chanting 'finders keepers' and refused to give it back. That was my first experience with them."
By now the two were sitting there just looking at her. Candy bars do not last long with those two eating machines.
"are you going to be mean to us, we were warned never to let others see us. I think Biggy is going to get mad."
"Well since you returned the Koi you took that day.."
"Gunner made me. I wanted a pet but he yelled at me and made me take it back. I even had a bowl of water for it to live in"
"..well yes, but they do need a large pond, and friends. Listen. Do you want to be the Koi's friends?"
Theo and Monster Hand had to think for only a second
"Yes! Yes! We will be there friends!"
"Good. Come by every day and I will have some food set out here on the back porch in a small bowl and you can feed them. Also if any look sick come in and tell me right away. OK?"
"OK!" With that they ran back here to our homestead to inform me of their new friend and their very big responsibility.
So know I can be a lot less afraid when they go next door to look at the fish. I will always be scared that one day someone may take them from us, but for now all I can do is protect them as much as I can
By they way. George the fish is now Georgina the fish

They paused as they thought about what I had said, then they reacted just like I knew they would.
"Arrrggghhhhh!!!!!" throwing themselves down they burst into tears. Here it comes.
Those poor chocolate loving monsters were experiencing the bad part of day after celebrations.
The day the candy sales end.
"They are all mean and should go to jail!" wailed Theo with monsa hand throwing in his "They're all poo poo heads" for good show.
Now to tell the truth I was not upset for them. I had already gone through this with monsa hand the week or so after every Day After holiday.
They spend weeks earning money just waiting for the sales to occur. Then when their money runs out, and I will admit I buy most of it because they have no real concept of cost, they go into hysterics. So for me the next week will be filled with sad monsters weeping about how life is so cruel to them and them alone.
Day afters include every holiday that involves candy in any sort. Halloween, Easter, Valentines Day, 4th of July, and Human Birthdays. Yes even birthdays. They demand that my wife and I have chocolate cake, and the leftovers end up in their bellies over the next few days. I have yet to finish a cake with them in the house. There are things you have to accept if you have monsters living with you.
So here I sit with two sad, despondent monsters weeping about the cruel fate that is their path in life. For them it is either feast, or famine. Today it is famine.
