Last night my husband and I were slipping off into dreamland when we heard a weird noise. I looked at my husband with that “did you hear that?” look. He’d heard it too, and was sitting up in bed. We listened intently for a moment, and the noise came again. It was kind of a shuffling noise, with a piteous little cry that was starting off soft but was getting louder and louder. And it was coming from Hambet’s bed. My dh got up and asked him what was wrong; Hambet tearfully informed us, “There’s a ghost<\/i> under my bed!”
\nWell, we had the little chat about no-such-thing-as-ghosts; Hambet drifted off to sleep during the chat and was slid, unprotesting, back into his own bed later in the evening. Hambet has told us about monsters before — in a general way — but this is the first time we’ve had any news of ghosts and any supernatural problems at bedtime. So I’ll be paying extra attention to where he might be getting this from.
\nI hope we can get this ghost out of the house soon; I am not interested in getting into chasing ghosts, monsters, and assorted paranormal brethren every night. Maybe I can just squish it like a bug, since it must be very tiny to be able to fit under a junior bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
