Is there no such thing as monsters or do monsters exist but are fundamentally nice and don't hurt children?
I can't decide which is the better route to take. Do I deny childhood imagination in an attempt to nip this in the bud, or indulge but create a whole system in which monsters are nice and won't hurt her? And of course if there are nice monsters, that leaves room for evil, child-eating ones, as well. Tim says we should go with the former, but Mac seems wholly unconvinced when I tell her that and continues to point them out to me ("Do you see it over there -- the blue monster?"). I've tried to dodge it altogether until I decide which is the better tact to take.
Not that Mac couldn't kick the ass of any monster that came after her. Seriously, if she only knew how formidable she really is, we'd all be in trouble.
Actually, I suspect she knows...
