Colonel Nathan Mossler

 is a statue that Samantha brings to life.

Colonel Nathan Mossler was Harlan Mossler's grandfather. The Mossler family owns Willow Street Park in the Stephenses' neighborhood. A bronze statue of the Colonel stands in the park. The family leases it to the city for one dollar a year, but this year the city "forgot" to pay. Harlan plans to bulldoze the park so he can build a supermarket.

Samantha and the other neighborhood mothers stage a protest. To get Harlan to change his mind, she brings the statue to life so it will scold him. Only Harlan can see the statue move and hear it talk; therefore he thinks he is hallucinating. Nevertheless, he changes his mind about the park and lets the city keep it.

After the mothers go home, the statue winks at Samantha and she is dumbfounded.
