Description

Panel 1: Child (shouting): "DAAAD! DAAAD! There's a monster under my bed!"

Panel 2: Adult (looking serious): "Let me get this straight. Some creature lives under your bed 24 hours a day. Every night, as darkness falls, you jump onto its roof and start yelling and screaming for me to come and eradicate it. But the creature under the bed is the monster?"

Panel 3: Adult (pointing): "You're the monster, boy."

Panel 4: Child (looking surprised): "You."

Panel 5: Adult (lying in bed, looking contemplative): "So, you basically replaced fear with guilt?"

Panel 6: Adult (still lying in bed): "It was the quietest emotion I could think of."
