You know that little voice in your head that is naughty?  The one that encourages you to get into trouble?  “Pssst… hey… you… I think you should have another shot of tequila and then totally make out with that stranger with sores on their mouth, and for some reason is holding a knife.  Do it!”  We all have a side of us that wants to provoke and push boundaries just to see what will happen.  There is a thrill in listening to the advice of the devil on your shoulder.

The Munch has that voice too… and it has a name.  Minnie Mouse.

Here is a little context.  Even though Munch has been potty trained for over a year, she still sleeps with a diaper.  This is hard to admit, but it is more my doing than hers.  I know I am being lazy about the whole having to wake up in the middle of the night to help her in the bathroom thing.  She has even expressed interest in sleeping in her underpants and not a diaper, but I have been delaying the process by saying “we will try tomorrow night.”  Don’t judge me okay!? If I could sleep with diapers and not have it be seen as some weird fetish I totally would! That sounds so convenient!

So the other night The Munch got up, took off her diaper, pulled ALL HER CLOTHES out of her shelf, got dressed, got back into bed, went to sleep, and peed.

Toni: Munch! What happened to your room? There are clothes everywhere!

Munch: Well, I needed to take off my pajamas, get dressed, and put on my underpants.

Toni: And then you went back to sleep after you were dressed?

Munch: Yup.  I sure did.  And then I peed in my bed.

Toni: Yeah I see that.  But why did you do that?

Munch:  Minnie told me to do it.  She told me to take my pajamas off, get all my clothes out the closet, and throw them on the floor so I could find something beautiful to wear.

Toni: Oh really.  Minnie told you to do that?

Munch: Yup.  And I kept saying to her ‘No Minnie! I don’t want to do that.  Stop telling people to take off their clothes.’ But she wouldn’t listen.

Toni: So you decided to listen to Minnie?

Munch: Yeah, because she wouldn’t listen to me, so I listened to her.
