“What’s a haunted house?”
My daughter is four years old and, a few days before Halloween, she’s decided to start asking questions.
I wring out the washcloth, buying time. We don’t talk about these kinds of things around her. She has a couple of picture books, but…
“What honey?”
“What’s a haunted house?”
“Well . . . that’s a house where ghosts live.”
For a minute I think I might have dodged the real question.
Nope…
“And what’s a ghost?”
“Well…”
That’s not so easy to answer.
