ok this prompt isn't that interesting, but my dad said it in his sleep once and he doesn't talk like that at all when he's awake, so I've always wondered where he was going with that. 😆

They cause havoc, wreck plans, make life just difficult. They frequently disguise themselves as one of us to get to otherwise inaccessible places to cause chaos. And until now nobody has been able to reliably detect them. But you found all monsters when making a PB & J sandwich put the J on top of the PB instead of on two separate slices of bread before eating.
