Haunted Houses

It is often said that kids say the darndest things and this is true. Wisdom can come out of the mouths of babes as well as...well, shining moments like this.

My darling daughter, six in age, came to me two nights ago declaring our house was haunted and we needed to move. I looked over my computer screen to spy the darling in her Strawberry Shortcake nightgown and ruffled hair with a smirk to my face.

"And why do you think the house is haunted, hun?" I asked, preparing to have her sit with me while we sorted out the whole "ghost hunters" experience she was having.

"There is magic in the house," she states solemnly. I stifled a giggle, wondering where the heck the magic was when I needed a mess cleaned up or couldn' t find any of my underwear in my drawers.

"Really?" I prompt, standing slowly to get her some hot cocoa.

"And witch's craps."

I stopped standing.

"Say that again, baby?"

"Witch's Craps, I tell you!"

"Indeed," I reply through tears. "Let's go wake your daddy and tell him about this."

I hope you can get those ghost hunters in there to clean up after that awful witch crapping in your house!
