Sweet Dreams
March 26, 2014 As someone who's battled insomnia for most of my adult life, I know just how valuable a soothing bedtime story can be. So, my fellow sleepless-in-wherevers, this one's for you.
[hem ahem hem]
*whispering*
Once upon a time...
there was a baby who was very sleepy.
;)
The baby's undead friends, however, kept asking:
;)
Yes, throughout the long nights, the baby's best buds howled and screamed and demanded that he stay awake, and play!
One day the baby thought, Maybe if I disguise myself as a ladybug and hide in the forest, my friends won't be able to find me to ask me to play!
And so, chopping off his own arms and legs, he did.
;)
But, alas! His buggy disguise soon attracted a sticky swarm of monster ladybugs.
;)
They crawled in his hair and tickled his ears and the baby forgot about sleep for another night.
Maybe, the baby thought next, if I cover myself with a big blanket, I won't hear my friends calling me!
And so, plugging his little ears, he did.
;)
But, alas! His friend Mr. Bubbles had a very loud and squeaky nose:
;)
Plus, Mr. Bubbles' chainsaws were terribly noisy.
I know! The baby thought at last. I'll hide in this cake! Then I can nap as long as I want.
And so, burrowing into the soft spongy layers, he did.
;)
But, alas! The cake was Mr. Monkey's birthday cake.
***The End***
Now, who wants seconds?

Dont these wreakerators realise ITS BAD for BABY to sleep on their stomach? its one of the main causes of cot death.
I have to say that I think that is definitely the most terrifying bed time story I have ever read. Yet I couldn't stop reading since I had to know what happened. :) I may never sleep again, but I think it might have been worth it.
That monkey is the most frightening thing I have ever seen. Can't be unseen. So disturbed right now.
:O
Just weird. Just . . . weird. This is going to give me nightmares tonight. I'm scared that I'll see the monkey. I'm scared I'll hide in a cake. I'm scared the monkey will eat me. And the cake.
My first thought was, "What is WRONG with you??" My second thought was, I just have to share this link with my daughter. I'm always sending her stuff to scare her. That monkey is the scariest thing I've ever seen! The dead eyes....
that amniotic sac looks like an egg shell, and the placenta behind it looks ill and precreta. Yuck!
