K.K. and the M.A.C.

There is a secret war being waged in our schools.
A war that you may not even be aware of.
A war that has hit close to home.

A little before Christmas, Megan and Matthew came home from school very worried.  It appeared that another third grader in their class was hypnotizing other school children and taking over their lives.  Kaylee was using her powers of persuasion to take over the whole third grade with obvious intentions to extend her nefarious rule over the whole world...  Matthew and Megan were taking this threat very seriously and started organizing a resistance movement, the M.A.C.

The Matthew Anti Corps (pronounced corpse, not core) was formed by Matthew and Megan and a few friends that are trying to liberate the school from K.K.'s (Kaylee's) despicable clutches.  In their surveillance activities they have witnessed K.K. "literally" hypnotizing people by waving her finger in front of them and repeating "lolli-lolli-lollipop" and thus taking their free will.  The M.A.C. is the last bulwark against the tide of robot-mind-controlled-zombies that will certainly overwhelm us all in the near future.  Even now, recruiting agents are looking for new members and strategies to defeat K.K. and her mindless minions.  Can they count on your support?

Monster repellant

The other morning, I heard Matthew up pretty early. He was making a fair bit of noise and I couldn't tell if it was happy or sad noise so I went to investigate. When I walked into his room, he was loudly singing "Oh may I always listen/to that still small voice/that testifies of truth and light/and makes our heart rejoice." (From Primary Song "The Holy Ghost", although his words aren't exact.)

I asked what was going on and he informed me that he sang "The Army of Helaman" really loud to keep the monsters away. I asked if it worked and he said that he hadn't seen any monsters.

So there you have it: a tried and true monster repellant! 

Monster Man

Matthew created a new role for himself. All on his own, he decided that he is Monster Man.  It looks like this:

The object of power he is holding is a shoehorn from Ikea.  It looks like a snake. 

Monster Man willl be happy to knock monsters off of you with his snake or hit any monsters he thinks he sees.  He even has a theme song (courtesy of Dad).

Monster man, monster man,

Matthew is the monster man.

With a snake clutched in his hand,

Matthew is the monster man.

He is brave, he will fight

Beating monsters day and night

Monsters all will flee in fright
