This is a love story of sorts...a short monster love story.
There once was a monster named Mr. Grumpy. This guy was baaaaad news, he was grumpy and pretty much angry all the time. Well, really, there was no pretty much about it he was grumply ALL the time. He was the grumpy dude that lived under the bridge and annoyed the fine folks that tried to cross the bridge with riddles and rhymes that make no sense to anyone. You know the guy we are talking about! UGH WHAT A DORK!
One day Polly was crossing the bridge. Polly, is the Monster so full of love that her loves shows through her monster skin. Yep the nicest monster you could ever meet.
As soon as Mr. Grumpy heard her foot steps he jumped up and surprised her with some goofy riddle. Of course Polly being not only full of love but also chock full of crazy monster knowledge laughed answered his question thanked him for the entertainment and went on with her day.
The next day after solving his riddle she stayed around and talked with Mr. Grumpy for awhile. This confused Mr. Grumpy a little bit but it made him feel strange inside. He wasn't the smartest monster in the tool shed ya know.
Polly started going by the bridge everyday, she started to love this crazy grumpy kind of ugly dude. The even crazier thing is Mr. Grumpy started to love her as well, no one else ever took the time to talk to him and NO ONE ever got his riddles.
Eventually Mr. Grumpy built up the courage to ask Polly out on a date.
Polly was really excited to go out with Mr. Grumpy. They went to her favorite hot dog stand...you know monsters LOVE hot dogs. You might think monsters loving hotdogs is crazy but we tell you it is true. Totally true.
Well it went on like that for a year, then two years, then three years etc...Then guess what?
Yup you got it they got married!
Side note: Did you know at a monster weeding they throw franks and beans and not bird seed? So if you are ever invited to a monster wedding you might want to dress appropriately.
The best part of the story is that since Polly has shared her love with Mr. Grumpy he is now only Mr. Grumpy by name. Before he had no love inside but now he is so full of love that it shows through HIS monstery skin. Mind you he still does not have as much love as Polly but he is working on it, if he could just give up those dumb riddles he might have more room for as much love as Polly.
But hey it is those dumbs riddles that Polly first liked about him, so maybe it is best he saves those??

BUMMER! We were pretty sad that we would have to pass on the show. But I was chatting it up with Martin, one of the monsters hanging out at HQ waiting to go to a good home, today and he told me that in fact there was such a thing, Monsterous Birdiousouses. They are pretty rare but they love to hang out in dying/dead Silver Maple trees or in Neighbors yards if they have a pink flowery tree.
WHAAAAAT! We have a dying/dead Silver Maple tree in OUR yard and our neighbors have a pinky flowery tree. What are the chances? So I went outside and sure enough...there they were three rare monster birds. I was able to grab two of them quickly one was too busy talking to notice me coming and the other only had one wing so he is not such a great flyer. The third escaped but flew directly to the pink flowery tree in the neighbors yard and there I was able to capture him! SAWEET!
So if you are looking for a few monster birds, whose names are Roberto, Jaun and Maria, to add to your collection make sure to head down to NEXT Gallery in Denver and pick yourself up one!
OH and if you were wondering, even though we picked these guys up in the tree in our front yard they did have enough time at HQ to meet up with a couple of friends here that agreed to be donated in place of a twin. I mean really what are the chances we go outside and find three more Monster Birds? Martin says it is pretty slim that we will ever SEE a monster bird again.
Today the boys, Tracey from US-Reports and I visited Realities for Children for Monster Sew Monster Drop!
We delivered 50+ monsters...it was a great day!
Many of our children have been ripped from their home with no notice, no explanation and no comfort. When we first saw the Monsters, we knew they were the perfect gift for our children, not only do they give the child something to hold on to during a time of uncertainty, but the Monsters light the imagination inside of them, empowering them, if only for a moment, to feel like a child again. -- Jennifer Varner, Realities for Children
