I must say that I am quite proud of myself for the ingenuity I displayed last week when I cured my son’s crippling fear of monsters living under his bed. Ever since I let him watch Monsters Inc, he is convinced there is a big monster under the bed that wants to eat him. Don’t ask me how he arrived at this conclusion, the monsters in that movie are mostly pretty nice, they never ate anyone. I guess my kid is just kind of wussy. There are worse things in life.

Anyway, the root of this problem is that my son’s bed is very far off the ground. He has a classic old wood bed frame that I slept on as a child, and my dad slept on as a child; someday my son’s son will sleep on that bed frame. The problem is that it has a large open space under the frame, and it gets really dark in there, so my son assumes a monster has taken up residence. What am I to do?
Well I was at StacksandStacks.com and I found an outside the box idea that might have actually fixed this monster mayhem. Funny I should say outside the box because my solution was literally a box. Well, not just a box but the PEVA vinyl underbed shoe chest, a box that is perfect for storing shoes and other items. It works out because I need somewhere to store my Christmas sweater collection. So far, so good, my sweaters are dust free, protected by the sturdy vinyl construction of this shoe storage box.
It turns out that for some reason the idea that there is an under bed storage box underneath his bed and not a monster really stuck in my son’s craw and he hasn’t been afraid of going to bed since. Funny how things work out sometimes isn’t it?
