“Is your house haunted?”
“Nah.”
“How do you know?”
“I’ve lived here a while and really checked.”
“But you can’t see ghosts…”
“Of course, but if you call a ghost they are not allowed to pretend they aren’t there.”
“But you can’t HEAR ghosts!”
“Well… How do you know there ARE ghosts?”
“Because my Mum’s a scientist.”
