Halloween Has Got Nothing On My Scaring Skills
October 26, 2006
Is there any other mother out there who turns on the TV to watch LOST, sees a split screen of a rocket launch going on RIGHTNOW at Cape Canaveral, and screams to her two boys (who are already tucked into bed) to HURRY! GET UP! and run out the front door and not tell them why?
Anyone? No?
So I shouldn’t be surprised when Spiff comes tearing out of his room in only his underwear and runs out the front door and asks if I have set the house on fire?
I also shouldn’t be surprised at his underwhelming sigh when he sees the reason I rousted him out of bed? Even though he likes rocket launches?
I think he was hoping I set the house on fire. Sort of.
Hey! Ever try to show a four year old that a moving ball of orange in a night sky rising right in front of you and have said child look straight up and ask “Where is it? I don’t see it.”
Yeah, me neither. I was just curious.
