The Toilet Monster

You know how everyone says that your kids pay you back for what you did as a kid? I think that this is one of the ways Greg is paying me back. And no I'm not talking about anything that has to do with "bucket head" although it could be that too...

When my sisters and I were little girls I liked to pick on them. Seeing how I'm the oldest they believed just about anything I told them. I think it must have been when Maggie was getting potty trained or something, I made up the toilet monster. I would tell them that when they went to sit on the potty it would stick it's head out and suck them down the toilet. MJ believed it right off the bat, Liz on the other hand... she took a little more convincing. In order to make her fully believe that I was telling her the truth I used a little storybook that came in something I got for my birthday. This storybook was empty and I got to put whatever I wanted in it(that's how mom and dad put it), so I wrote and illustrated the book on the toilet monster.

Sure enough Liz fell for it. Maggie and Liz were both horrified of going to the bathroom. One day Liz told mom what I did and I finally got in trouble after like a month of her having to fight with them to go in there by themselves.

Gregory, I do believe, is now my pay-back for ever saying there was a toilet monster... by becoming a toilet monster. He is obsessed with putting potty seats on his head. The first picture Jeffrey caught him putting his own potty chair cushion on his head like a hat, the second picture he stole Lilie May's potty seat out of the bathroom when I was busy and was walking around the house with it around his neck.

... He's trying to stick his head out of the potty and suck me in!!!
