Ask The Maui Monster

Dear Maui Monster...

Congrats on the new baby! And nice to have you back.

My people put a car seat in my spot. What can I do to get it back? Should I pee on it?

Hi Displaced.

You could do much worse if you wanted, but it won't matter. That thing isn't going anywhere. All you can do is get used to your new spot behind the driver's seat.

For the record, I never had a back-seat preference (I'm more of a picky sleeper than a picky traveller), but there's a lot to embrace about the left.  For example, having traffic whiz by vs. glide along completely changes the car ride experience, especially with your head out. You can make a game of it. See if you can catch a full license plate as it passes. It's harder than it sounds.

Also, if your chauffeur ever momentarily freaks out because he thinks he forgot you somewhere when he really didn't, he can just turn his head to see you if you're back right. But in the back left, he has to reach back and feel for you. I try using it as an opportunity for an extra bum rub, but getting into position fast enough is also harder than it sounds.

And if I were you, I wouldn't get too comfy in your new spot either. Actually that's good advice for both of us.
