Calling All Ghostbusters

September 10, 2008

One of my children is afraid.  She’s afraid all the time. She sleeps with a blanket over her head.  She won’t stay in a room by herself, even in broad daylight.  She prefers to stay in her bathroom with the door shut at all times because, apparently ghosts don’t use toilets.

Shiny Happy People
