My son came home in his Gi...

Half of his Gi is in the laundry room.

The other half, apparently, was eaten by monsters.

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Anything been eaten by monsters in your house recently? (Ha. And we tell kids they don't exist! I need some monster spray.)

What can I do next?

ooh man he lost his GI?!?!?!?! That happened to me!!! Well, not me - my son - apparently "some other kid thought it was his..." so how did it get off you?!!

Ended up buying two Gi's for the Do Jung and put his name in it LOUD AND CLEAR - they came out in colors - so that helped instead of just the white one!!

Good luck!! If you happen to find any monster spray - please let me know!!

Well, my husbands Gi is from the Storm Gi people. Since my husbands name is Storm and Storm is written all over it, somehow I think we might be able to find it again. (Yes he got it just for the name and yes I laughed at him for it.)

Socks definitely, sometimes underwear, and once my bra...maybe we have a bit of a pervert monster?

Our Family Monster prefers to eat VERY EXPENSIVE things. Like graphing calculators and Iphones and retainers.

He's the Galloping Gourmet of Monsters apparently, with a similar sense of humor!

That VERY SAME monster comes to my house and eats my paperclips, thumbtacks, black socks (somehow he doesn't like the white ones), batteries, and all the sweets or candy. Some diet. You know his blood pressure is through the ROOF!

Have to share a funny monsters story myself. My youngest, 5 year old, hates brushing his teeth, so the other night, not sure why I didn't think of this sooner, told him if he didn't brush his teeth before bed the cavity monster would get his teeth. He was like, there is a monster in my mouth. I said the cavity monster and he needed to brush his teeth so he could get rid of the cavity monster, so he did with not fighting or anything. Not sure why I didn't think of it prior...

Oh those monsters...

I think I was attacked by the same monster as Ephie. :(

What is a Gi.....

I think it has become a challenge to freak me out so lately my kids have been taking full credit for their craziness. Which reminds me my daughter hit a mailbox with her bike yesterday and I never made it over to make sure the box wasn't damaged. Oops

The monsters take my son's socks. Not mine, not my husbands, not my oldest just the youngest. I guess there is something about his that they like. There is a monster at home and one that the gym that like his socks.

Every pen and pencil we own. Doesn't matter how many I buy or where I hide them, by the time I really need one (like writing a phone number down while someone waits on the other end of the line) I am doing it in crayon, lip liner, or just yesterday outside on the back patio in sidewalk chalk.

Thank you, Jo W. for mentioning Ephie's name. Now I know who is the one with those symbols. chuckle.

I have sock monsters, too and a closet that swallows clothes so that I can't find what I want at the time.

BTW Such an appropriate post. I've been listening to the Monster Mash from the movie Spooky Buddies. Love that song!

My monster eats all snacks that I might buy so the kids have something after school. This includes fruit snacks, granola bars, cereal (which I could swear should be for breakfast), graham crackers, and lately Gogurts yogurt sticks. And he leaves the garbage lying around. No one ever sees him do it. And don't get me started on socks. He must cough them up much later though or hides them well because somehow the matching sock turns up a few weeks later. I was looking at my lone sock pile last night and trying to figure out how I could have bought that many socks but we still have socks to wear-the pile is huge.

I don't know what Gi is either...

But... I seem to lose socks like crazy. The match is never around. And I was looking at pictures and there was one of my son with a nice fleece blanket and I realized I have no clue whatever happened to that blanket.

Oh geez, Gi's aren't cheap.

My daughter, when she comes home from Karate, as soon as she walks in the door, takes it off, and then, puts it on a chair by the door.

But we have slippers (flip flops), tons of them, with only 1 side.
Who knows where the other half goes.
Aaaack! I hate that.
Sometimes I find the other side out in the yard.
And the other one in the house.
And then my slippers disappears too, because my daughter's feet can fit into my shoes! Then she wears them and forgets where she put it or took it off.
Grrr...
