Mother Uses eBay To Sell Monster Under Child's Bed

<snip>

PHILADELPHIA -- One of the duties of a parent is to make sure the monster under their child's bed is held at bay -- even when the monster exists solely in that child's imagination.

One local parent had a high-tech solution to the problem -- she has put the monster up for auction on eBay.

Kathleen Tait had her daughter draw the monster under her bed and is selling the image on the online auction site, WCAU-TV in Philadelphia reported. Tait's daughter said the monster would make her room a mess. Kathleen Tait said the whole thing began months ago, when her daughter would wake up, afraid that the monster would get her and her toys.

:scared:

And I love this response, now that bidding is up to 81$
Oddly, the response isn't all caps...

I wanted to say thanks to everyone for looking at MY DAUGHTERS MONSTER. I see that it has really been receiving a lot of response. If the bids continue to rise my daughter and I are going to open up a trust fund for her to continue going to Catholic school.
