Today, the kids in Monster's pre-school class started studying castles and royalty. They each got to give themselves a royal title. He named himself King Apple. Later, he named me Queen Grapes and Mike became King Hippopatomus. The dog became Prince Stinky Breath.

Later, while we laid in bed and watched Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, he told me if I kiss him on the head, it makes him not be scared and that I'm the best mommy in the universe. Then he told me that the scary parts "freak me out and make my brain feel all flippy".

When it was over, he quizzed me on what 6+6 equals and what 90+ 300 + 10,000 + 5,000 makes. I thought about it a while and then made up an answer. Then he told me, "Zillion McZillerson is the highest number ever."
