Loch Ness Monster Comes to Town

My son is terrified of the Loch Ness Monster rn. Absolutely terrified. Keeps asking me questions about it, can it get out of the loch, is the loch far away etc. No idea where he even heard about it. I told him it can drive and could be in our town in about 20mins. Eats wee boys.

A social media post says a child is terrified of the Loch Ness Monster, so his father jokingly tells him that the monster can drive to their town in 20 minutes. The punchline is the deadpan threat “Eats wee boys,” turning the child’s innocent fear into an absurdly immediate danger. It is used as a darkly silly reaction to jokes about frightening children or making an exaggerated threat.
