Lint

There is a multicolored longhaird lint monster that lives in our hall closet. Whenever we aren’t looking he runs about the house waving his hairy arms and dropping an even coating of lint on all tiled surfaces. He came with the house. We didn’t have one at our old house because we had a deepthroated dust monster that made regular rounds of the neighborhood bellowing and growling on saterday mornings, blowing all the dust and leaf particles from outside under everyones doors with his powerfull gusty breath. Lint monsters are afraid of deepthroated dust monsters of course, being very quiet creatures themselves, who like to take long naps snuggled among the warm winter coats in hall closets. That is, of course, why I have to sweep every day.

you should write and illustrate a kids' story about a lint monster. :)

Or maybe I will.....

Yes, actually, forget I said anything. I want to write it now! :)
