Monsters in the drain

Andrew has been talking a lot lately about the monster that lives in the kitchen drain. Wasn't exactly sure what that meant but he never seemed disturbed by it either. Sometimes he leaves the water running in the kitchen to "give the monster a drink". Since it never bothered him that there was a "monster" in the drain I didn't make a big deal out of it. Last night when we where finishing up the dishes he started talking about his monster. He couldn't figure out why I had never heard the monster that lived in there and was getting a little frustrated with me. Well, you know how when you run the water full stream straight into the garbage disposal on the sink it makes a bit of a rushing sound...and the when you turn it off you can hear the water finishing its journey down the pipe. There in lies the monster! He swears that that sound can be explained in no other way than simply that there is a monster that lives in the drain and eats all the food that we send down. If he is always eating our old food than surely he needs a drink from time to time. Wouldn't it be wonderful to still be able to see the world that way?! Theres always a simple reason for everything if we just look for it.
