The Monsters that bloom

Writer's picture: iand youmatteriand youmatter


It had been long day so I kissed them good night


I had been awake since the early morning, This time it was gone half past two am


Suddenly something awoke me, It was only about one or 2


I jumped out of bed and said to my husband "there is something I just have to do"


"Love go back to bed you don’t need to do anything"


But my intuition is too strong to ignore


So I got out of bed and went down the hall way


Just then a little voice said: "mum where is dad?"


I said: dad’s asleep have you just come to bed?


He said yes I was busy with work


My kid is only 9 years old, he had programming to do!


He makes games inside of Roblox, often there is a monster or two


I said: "can’t you go to sleep? What can I do to help?"


He said: I am afraid of the phone


It keeps going off when the battery is low


I'm worried the beeper will go off again, that's why I cannot rest


Mum I counted 3 in the base but one was missing again, I don’t know where it is.


So Here I am I needing to settle him, creeping down downstairs in the dark


I started counting the phones


There were 2 in their rightful place, one that was missing.


I searched and I searched until I found it in one of the bedrooms. Phew! Think I can go back to bed. But then...


Mummy "Can I have a mummy cuddle once that little job is done?"


I laid next to him I said: " I love you". He said I still cannot sleep


What is wrong darling? What is troubling you?


Mummy " I am afraid of the monsters!"


"Hey my little precious, imagine one here, what will you do if you see one?"


Mummy, I'll run up to my room and get under the covers


What else could you do? You know Monsters are like bullies we could stand up to them? Scare them with boo or better we could tell them a joke?




If you tell a monster a joke, It will giggle and turn in to a flower


The little girl next door will wake up in the morning and say "hey when did that flower bloom?"




Mummy, "What colour flower will it turn into?"


Well "it rather depends on the colour of the monster. A a pink monster will turn in to a pink one and blue monster will bloom in to a flower that’s blue


I want to see a blue flower in the morning my boy, will you find me a blue one and tell it a joke?"

About Me

I write about my struggles as a mum of a highly sensitive child and dealing with the education system. Our fights over 10 years with the  broken system, who were   determined to label him Autistic and how I managed to combat this. My journey as a migrant from a mixed marriage who lived through one war and chose her maternal country in the end in pursuit of happiness.
