An overdue Halloween post--A Scary Monster, a Friendly Monster, and an Angel With a Split Personality

On the left, a Scary Monster.  On the right, a self-proclaimed Friendly Monster,
who actually was more of a So-Tired-He-Was-Walking-Into-Things Monster.

An angel with a split personality.  Because at four months,
you never know what you're gonna get.

Mommy's Little Democrat

Secondo's second favorite president, after "BARACK H. OBAMA," is...

Scenes From a Crowded, Yet Suddenly Silent Restaurant (or, Mommy's Little Republican, Part 2)

Scene from the Original Pancake House.

Secondo:  "MOM!  Do you know who my favorite president is?"

Me:  "No!"

Secondo:  "BARACK H. OBAMA.  Do you know why?"

Me:  "I have no idea."

Secondo:  "Because he has a B in his name!  That's my favorite letter!"

Me:  "Uh, that's great!  Terzo, who is your favorite president?"

[The Original Pancake House, though crowded, suddenly goes silent.]

Terzo:  "My favorite president is RICHARD NIXON!"

Even the waitresses were laughing at us.

Mommy's Little Tea Partier

Rand Paul (on CNN):  "What makes America great is freedom."

Terzo:  "Ya, FREEDOM."

Secondo:  "Mama, what's FREEDOM?"

(To which Grandpere apparently would have replied, according to DH, "It's something that you EARN.")
