My little sister called my name a few minutes after I put her to bed. She told me that there was something in her closet. I checked the closet and told her there was nothing there, but told her she could still sleep in my room with me. I was thinking that was the best way to get her out of the room before he noticed I saw him.

Experiment
The humor comes from the dark twist at the end. The narrator initially seems like a caring sibling, comforting their sister's fear of a monster. However, it's revealed that the narrator also saw the monster and is actually using the sister's fear as an excuse to escape. The implication is that the narrator is not trying to be brave but rather trying to survive.
