Solve that one ...

For the last few days, Rhea has an acute fear of monsters. She refuses to go upstairs unaccompanied. A curtain swaying in the wind sends her dashing in our direction, eyes wide open.

I sat her down and asked her, "Outside of movies, have you seen any signs of monsters? Outside of books, have you heard of anybody seeing them? If you can't see them and can't hear them, do you think they exist?"

Rhea countered in a split second, "Papi, do you think aliens exist?"
