Bedtime Interruptions

After the Boy has been down for 15 minutes last night...

Crying ensues from the bedroom.
Momma: What's wrong?
The Boy: (thru tears) My monkey....his tags are bother him.

Clarification: The Boy has become slightly obsessed with a finger puppet stuffed monkey from Pottery Barn Kids. He is only about 5 inches in length, but had 3 tags, each about 1 inch long. He received the monkey as part of his Easter basket two years ago. Only recently has he started sleeping with it. The Boy has also recently become obsessed with the tags of his own clothing. All tags must be removed from pjs or he won't sleep. The obsessions became merged.

Momma: Okay, I will cut them off.
The Boy: Be very careful.
Momma: Okay, I will bring him right back.

I return with monkey detagged, sleep ensued.
