mama sets the record straight

mama says there are no such things as chuds, molemen, giant aligators or irish ghosts in the subway & papa & grandma should be ashamed of themselves for trying to fool polly.

mama says the only dangerous thing underground are the giant mutant rats. they're as big as a dog. they got that big from eating all the toxic waste down there. but they're afraid of the light & grownups so as long as polly stays with papa she'll be ok.

polly doesn't know who to believe, so she might as well believe everybody & add giant rats to the list.
