The glove monster

In every household there is that thing called the sock monster...you know the one. You are sitting there putting away laundry wondering where on earth could this sock have possibly gone and then you hear a strangle grumble of a satisfied tummy coming from your dryer. You let out a stream of threats to the elusive sock monster, but know deep down he is going to win and you are going to have to buy more socks!

In my house in addition to the sock monster we have added a glove monster. Oh he is a sneaky little monster! He leaves one glove and the comes back for the other till we have none! He doesn't even leave one behind so that you can pair the two singles....Oh no he is hungry and on a rampage! I can almost hear his cackle as he sneaks the gloves out in the night!

This year I was going to beat him at his own game. I bought several pairs of gloves and hid some of them in the top of my closet so he couldn't find them. Once again that sneaky little monster managed to sniff them out! Grrr! Now we are left again with one pair of gloves and its only the beginning of the cold! I will find a way to beat him, if it is the last thing I do. I will find a way! I will get you, you dirty, rotten glove monster! Mark my words!
