The reason there isn't a lunar eclipse every month is because

• the moon only gets full every few months, so there can't be eclipses more often.

• the moon gets frightened after an eclipse and stays away from Earth, but it forgets soon.

• there isn't enough planets and moons in the solar system for it to happen more.

• the moon's tilted orbit doesn't put it in Earth's shadow very often.
