Question

What happens to the monsters we believed in as children when we grow older?

Answer 1

Sometimes we come to the realization that there is nothing more frightening or monstrous than human beings. We stop externalizing our fears and giving them hideous physical manifestations when we see the horror and ugliness that people can do to people. We learn that we are the monsters.

Answer 2

They fade from memory. I think they just find new kids to terrorize.

Answer 3

They come back to haunt you....as your "children" !!! LOL

Answer 4

Well, you answered your own question. We grow older and put faces to those headless creatures and realize that...it's just those damn turtles! No, but seriously, the monsters as children are our fears as adults. They're just not monsters anymore. They're, just like everyone is agreeing with, the human race. For instance, being afraid of clowns that are just here to make us laugh grow up to be that boy or girl that jokes on you all the time...just to make people laugh. Think about it.

Answer 5

We marry them and then recognize them again.

Answer 6

they stop believing in us

Answer 7

Thier still there most just can't see them anymore

Answer 8

as childhood innocence passes, so does the ability to see. their still there, you just don't see them to fear them.

Answer 9

Where they have always been....Under our beds!

Answer 10

I have an opinion and it is just that. Either they follow us throughout our lives in different forms, or they find new children to terrorize.
