I open my bedroom door one last time. As slowly as I can. And then I see sky blue fur with purple polka dots.
"Kitty!" I cry as I flop into the big monster's arms.
"Boo?"
"Well, yes but it's actually Mary."
"Finally. A proper meeting. Hello Mary, my name is Sulley."
"Sulley," I echo as I heave a sigh. "I never did remember your name."
"I think that's because you were so little. Oh! Hey, do you have any children?"
"Oh, no I'm not gonna let you scare them-"
"I'm not going to. We're making kids laugh now that our old boss. . ." He trails off.
"Right. But I thought you wanted him to go."
"I do it's just that his idea brought us together," He looks down for a second. "Now, where are those kiddos?"
I could see the playful energy in his eyes that I first saw when I was my children's age.
