Hey there, my name is Button Mash, but my friends call me Button. I'm 8 years old, well 8 and a half really. Today I got to go to work with my dad. I don't know what he does really, he always says he does construction but I don't know if that's really true. I've seen construction workers before but my dad doesn't do what they do. He works inside houses I guess, at least thats where he brought me.

He woke me up this morning and told me that I was gonna be able to come to work with him. I got really excited because I've always wanted to go to work with my dad. I like my dad a lot, he's the best dad there's ever been. He got dressed in his work clothes, and they look kind of like a construction man I guess and got me my own outfit. It was awesome cause I looked just like him. I had a hat, vest and my own boots even. We drove down the road for a while till we came to this abandoned house, it looked like the haunted house ride from disney world. I love disney world, I wonder if my dad'll take me there later. Once we pulled up and got out I got really scared. I started shaking but my dad took my hand and I felt a lot better.

When we got inside he pulled out this weird mask thingy. It reminded me of a pterodactyl, those are my favorite dinosaurs, and handed me one also. I asked him what they were for, he just said to be quiet. We started walking through the house and I got even more scared so I grabbed onto his leg. When we got to the stairs I noticed my dad didn't have any tools with him.

"Where are your tools dad, how are we gonna do work without tools." I asked.

"They're downstairs Timothy, now be quiet we have a lot of work to be done and I don't need you making a ruckus." He said.

We started walking walking down the stairs and they all creaked, I hate creaky stairs, they're scary. I thought there was gonna be a monster beneath the steps and it was gonna grab my ankles but my dad kept me safe. I held onto him tighter as he flipped the switch at the bottom of the stairs. I thought I was gonna see a giant purple monster with 14 million eyes and sharp green teeth but we didn't, it was some man chained up. He had a blind fold and started calling out for help.

"Are we gonna help the man dad" I asked

"No he's a monster Timothy, he just looks like you or me. Don't let that fool you though, he's a real monster." He said not looking at me.

My dad went over to a table, picked up a camera, and gave it to me.

"Make sure you record this Timothy, I want to cherish these memories we get to spend together" My dad said.

"Got it Dad"

I love my dad and I love spending time with him. I think its awesome that he's taking care of these monsters so that they don't harm anybody. He had me record him doing his job, I'm not sure why though, I enjoyed helping my dad though. My dad seemed really happy to have me help also. The monster kept screaming for help, he kept saying that he wasn't a monster but I don't believe him. My dad told me that they say that so they can trick you, once you let a monster in you're house he will hurt you and your family. I saw through the monster tricks and didn't move from my spot. My dad's a smart man, I'm glad he knew about the monsters tricks.

He began giving the monster boo boo's all over his body. I don't think the monster like that very much, but maybe if he wasn't a monster my dad wouldn't be so mean to him. The monster started to scream out a bunch of words that my dad always told me not say so I'm not gonna tell you guys them. He was a really mean monster, all my dad was doing was keeping everyone else safe. After forever my dad stopped, he looked over at me and was covered in the monsters blood. He looked scary with the mask on but I knew it was my dad underneath and he's a nice man so I was brave.

"Alright Timothy, its your turn."

"Really dad"

"Yes, really..."

My dad then let me have a turn with the monster. He gave me a hammer and a few other tools he had down there and took my camera. He told me that the monster was evil and spread lies all the time. I remembered seeing the monster on the TV, my parents would always leave him on and he would keep talking. I didn't like hearing him talk, he had an annoying voice. I took the hammer and hit him with it. I hit his face and a tooth fell out. My dad said I could take it for the tooth fairy so I did. I started hitting him more and my dad started cheering. the monster began to cry more.

"Why are you doing this kid?" He asked.

"My dad told me who you are. He told me you were a monster."

"No you got it backwards. I have a wife and kid who's your age. Please listen to me, your dad's the monster. He kidnapped me and is keeping me down here." The monster said.

I didn't fall for his tricks though. I knew he was just trying to get me to stop and if I did he would just go and hurt more people. I hit the monster harder in the chest and he made some scary noise. I ran over to my dad but he put his hand on my shoulder and told me I was doing good. He said he loved me very much and that made me excited, he doesn't say that he loves me very often. I went back to hurting the monster but got tired. My dad told me not to stop, he kept saying that I was making him proud and not to stop. I didn't want to but I was really tired. I dropped the hammer and my dad walked over to me and put the camera on the monsters face. He was all bruised and even scarier looking now.

"Alright Timothy thats enough, you can stop." My dad said.

He grabbed the hammer and other tools and put them back on the table. He pointed the camera at me and I waved, I hope my dad lets me watch the movie sometime. He then pointed the camera at himself.

"Well this was a fun day at work with Timothy. He helped out a lot and maybe I'll bring him back."

"I wanna come back with you dad. I had a lot of fun today" I said.

My dad put the camera back on the table and picked me up. He turned the lights out when we were leaving and I heard the monster start groaning again. I was really tired though so I didn't pay attention. My dad took my mask and threw it into the back of the car with his and we drove off.

After that I got to get ice cream. I love ice cream a lot, I love my dad even more though. I hope I get to help him out at work again, I had a lot of fun. When I grow up I wanna be just like my dad.
