My wife recently put up a small message board in our kitchen, where you can press letters into fabric to say what you want. My daughter (5 years old), suggested, "Candy inside your heart." I find the sentiment very sweet. We have not broached free monads yet.

Honestly, would you need free monads if you already had (the feeling of) candy inside your heart?

Maybe we need to look at our priorities.
