Dear Dee,
I think there’s a monster in my closet. It’s very scary and makes screaming noises at night. How do I make it go away?

Dear Hailey,
Assert your dominance and make even louder noises. If that doesn’t work, knock on your parents’ door. Everybody knows that closet monsters are scared of parents, so when Mommy or Daddy get out of bed to help you, the monster will go away.
