Trouble Maker

The Orphanage's newest monster is a real handful. I don't know how I'll ever find a home for him , he can't seem to stay of trouble. 

            He can be pretty nice to be around sometimes.

        But then sometimes he snaps and starts to act out.

It's hard to stay mad at him for too long though , he puts on his sorry eyes and I really do think he feels bad.

 

Still , I try and discipline . What sort of Headmistress would I be if it went soft on the orphans? I try and keep a firm hand.

But I must be doing something wrong , because his behavior gets worse and worse!

And his sorry eyes get sorrier and sorrier.

 

Sometimes I think we have turned a corner. Bird watching is a harmless and fun activity , I thought to myself.

 

     But it turned out to be more like bird noshing. Bad monster!














    It's a good thing playing nasty tricks has it's own consequence.

Nobody really wants to play with you.

The Move

Earlier this summer , the monsters of the Foster Monster Orphanage packed up their belongings and moved across town. This move was partially encouraged by the Headmistress' sneaking suspicion that an unfriendly anti-monster operative was watching the Orphanage. Another very good reason was that the Orphanage wasn't really up to code and was partially collapsing.

Of course the Headmistress was rather preoccupied in ways that diverted her attention from the Orphanage and from the monsters. Summer can cast a certain spell , and thus the monsters were spending quite a bit of time at home by themselves.

In many ways this was good for them. They got to catch up on their reading.

Because the Headmistress wasn't around they got to lay around in bed eating whatever they wanted. However , having grown up on a strict diet of rotten meat , their taste buds were not well versed  in tasty treats at all.

 The monsters were doing an Okay job entertaining themselves home alone. But it wasn't all fun and games. For one thing , the Headmistress didn't build them another Orphanage to sleep in , so they were on their own every night to find a comfortable place to rest.

 

With any luck the Headmistress will soon return her attention the little monsters who so badly need her to find much more suitable places to stay then the spare change jar.
