It just doesn't have the same ring to it

Abby is mildly afraid of monsters being in the house. But, J-L has assured her and reassured her that monsters are not allowed in our home. In his words: "Honey, they can't come here, they'd have to get past Biiiig Poppa!"

The other day J-L was not home. I had to send Abby upstairs to get something. She was mildly afraid of the monsters that might be upstairs but then I heard her reassure herself: "nope, there are no monsters upstairs. They'd have to get past Biiiig Momma!"
