Have you ever heard of the Sock Monster? The Closet Monster? Or the Monster...

Usually they move with you. You must be pretty slick to have shaken him

No! I tell you! They will overpopulate the world and eventually erupt from our houses into the streets! They will eat us alive! Bla bla...for how long can you keep this going, sharone?:))

Well there isn't just one you know, each family has their very own personal sock and closet monsters, though it seems there aren't enough Beasts under the bed to go around so they moonlight under different beds on different nights. However Gall Darned has been with me a while and at the rate of socks disappearing around here I think he may have moved in a Missus Darned!

They are international travelers, expecially to places where people don't know about them yet! Ha Ha. Think of all the fun that they are having with you all over there while you are all unaware. The average household has 4-5 The closet monster who inhabits small childrens closets, which is why the make you shut the door on them and why they want a light so they can see him coming. He is the Closet Montset Or Clos for short. Then there is the beast under the bed monster who is said to nip little children's toes in the middle of the night when they get up for water or to potty. He doesn't eat then just bites them from under the bed! Then ther is the Sock Monster who takes one sock and leaves the other behind in the wash when you wash them. And then theres the miscellaneous misplacer monster or Mister. Nobody. MN for short. Sometimes one will get married and watch out then! It's a joke about the common fear of children at bed time. It is also something that older siblings scare younger siblings with stories about right before bed when they fill them up with soda, or tea, or water right before bed. That if they get up to go to the bathroom monsters wil bite their toes!

A minor demon maybe a monster I doubt it!

Ha Ha! Good one sharone! Guess you told him!

@rebelann Yes, your dad had memories he could not let go of. I totally understand. My husband used to have them about situations they encountered on SWAT team service. I am so glad he is out of all that now.

Military service, which includes police work, can be a real nightmare for some. I imagine anyone serving on a SWAT team would have some scary memories.

Those noises can be really terrifying to kids, I remember my dad moaning and groaning because of nightmares and boy did that scare us kids. Poor dad went through hell in WWII

long as you don't spray it on the clothes go for it!

You make them funny and then you come up with sure fire cures for your kids night time monster fears. Like you get together and watercolor paint a sign for monster no trespassing zones and then you tape it on the inside of the door to the closet for them. And for tile or hardwood floors you sprinkle a little talkum powder around the bed so you can see that there are no moster footprints. So on and so forth. Then every time you loose one of their socks to Gall Darned you can play with them about all the wakcky monster traps that you're going to put out to stop the sock thievery once and for all!

How about a spray bottle of monster replent? (colord water)

You don't have to believe in it Gall Darned would prefer if you didn't. That just makes his sock munching easier to perpetrate!

Well now. We actually get one of the monsters to weigh in on the discussion! Thanks for yur response.

the remedy is to buy boring socks that are all exactly the same. Then you won't notice the losses and casualties until they return with toe and heel holes. Or even the mysterious up by the top seam of the 3/4 socks munch marks! He's a rather stupid monster easy to fool with look-alike sock sets.

Put them out in the garage our maybe pretend to throw them out and Gall Darned or his cousins may be fooled into returning the mates only moderately munched!

She must have found a monster repellant that works. Either that or your family has boring old socks that are all the same so that stealing a pair doesn't matter or maybe she just doesn;t tell you about the collection of unmated socks she has hidden in the laundry room!LOL

Just the miscellaneous misplacer monster. He really has no use for keys, I believe that they shall turn up soon. And they will be somewhere around the same spot that they were the very last time that you saw them! LOL.

See this mysterious pair may not be so ghostly as you think since ghosts don't usually have the ability to manifest and take things. You may be the victim of the miscellaneous misplacer monsters too! Will their reign of terror never end?!?!?!?!? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAArggggggggggg the inhumanity of it all. My mother used to call the all-purpose misplacer in our house Mr. Nobody and every time his name came up in conversation she would start talking to the ceiling or a corner of a room yelling AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH and then muttering dire imprecations for Mr. N the day that she finally caught up with his "heathen behind!"

What monster are you talking about?
