Conversation with Small Boy Outside of Our House

“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.”
