Good point, pitbullady. It has been half a decade or more since the Shift. The monster would have to tell jokes out loud, and this is REALLY going to increase the chance of discovery. Wouldn't YOU go in and check your kid's room if you heard a strange voice from there, especially if the kid does not have a radio or TV? And what about baby monitors? That must really be a headache for monsters. Since it takes longer for a child to grow up to have a sense of humor than a sense of fear, the child will be older (Mike's kid was older than Boo...in fact, I am almost surprised Boo laughed at all, she seems to be about 30 months old, and everything is strange at that age). Kids will have to be about first grade to appreciate jokes like Mike was telling, and I can still remember my first grade teacher (Miss Gerditias (sp?)). I remember kindergarten, although not who our "teacher" was. These kids are going to remember their joke monsters. By now, there are probably people well into grade school, maybe approaching junior high, who know that monsters are real. How will this affect history?

And some people say we don't need a sequel heh.
How will it affect? Negitively. Scareing not only supplied power, it also IS what contributed to most kid's becoming desensitized by their fears.
Heck. If Sullivan was doing a comedy act on a kid, the kid would grow up with a false fear in some terms. Probably go up to a REAL human-world bear simply because they think it's just like Sullivan, or in most ways.
