A Monster is Born

HELP,  I need somebody. 
HELP, not just anybody.
HELP, you know I need someone, HELP!

This is how I am feeling tonight. My children have been in their dark room for over an hour and a half now. Are they asleep?  No silly.  Why would someone sleep when they are in a pitch black room with warm soft blankets?  Isabelle is upstairs claiming to be scared, something about monsters or something.  We aren't buying it.  Soung-Sik just hollered to her that we are scared of her too.  It is a fact that we are scared our children might never go to sleep. 

Don't they look terrifying???

But the real monster isn't one in the closet or under the bed.  The scariest monster is about 2 feet tall, weighs around 20 pounds, has uncontrollable hair, a mischievous laugh, and never slows down.
Tonight this monster... hold the phone, a monster should have a really scary name...lets go with Maximus-Non-Sleeperious-Tasmanian-Devil, or Maxnoeepmandev for short. 
Maxnoeepmandev figured out two simply horrifying tricks tonight.
He can now open doors and enter or exit any room he pleases. 
I am not especially thrilled about this.  Not even a teeny tiny bit.
The second trick he learned is how to climb up the bunk bed without the use of a ladder.  I am beginning to understand why Isabelle might be afraid.  Even though Maxnoeepmandev scares the living daylights out of us all, we don't want him falling to his death and/or a broken limb from the bunk bed.  
How he managed to learn these tricks on the same night is a puzzle, or a curse from Soung-Sik's mom many years ago. I am not exactly sure how we are going to solve this problem. I think if a monster is old enough to open doors and climb up three times his own height then he is old enough to start receiving Mey mays.  Mey May is Korean, I'll let you use your imagination on what it translates into.  It's a sad day for us all.

Please go to sleep Maxnoeepmandev and stop scaring little defenseless girls!
