…you observe your toddler using your current one to dust the toilet.

A few nights ago I was reading Brooke bedtime stories.  She chose “One Monster After Another” by one of our favorite children’s book authors, Mercer Mayer.

Midway through the book, we turned the page and encountered this monster:

Before I could resume reading, Brooke pointed to the picture and shouted, “Grandma!”

I kind of thought Brooke had some good-looking grandmas.  I guess one of them will have to come to terms with the fact that, at least to a certain two-year old child, she resembles a horny-headed octopus-beast holding a toothbrush.
