Ghost Story
BirdBrain
Perhaps for the blog — or just you guys…
We had a great Parents Day visit with Chris. Because of all the rain, our focus was on talking and eating. But of all the many things one expects to hear from our son, this was one was a surprise… in the midst of talking about his dorm, the kids, his friends, he says mentions that he’s worried about Halloween. Why? “Oh, didn’t I tell you? My room is haunted”….
Check the list of “haunted places in Massachusetts”and here’s the story:
Springfield – Western New England College – Berkshire Hall – Room 401, the students feel that when they are getting up they cannot, like some force is holding them down. Supposedly a former student had hung himself in the room upon hearing that his girlfriend had broken up with him. The students also wake up with sound of broken glass.

I’m tagging along on BirdBrain’s post. From this weekend:
“Matt, check out my new shirt. It only cost four dollars.â€
“Dad, It’s ugly. And it doesn’t have one ugly color, it has six.â€
***
Got my teeth cleaned today. Andrea, the hygienist, on her way to the tooth she wanted to x-ray, was diverted by the molar I’d broken.
“Eeew, when did you do that?â€
“A few months ago.â€
“Was it sharp?â€
“It was.â€
“It was?â€
“I filed it down.â€
“You filed it down? What did you use.â€
“Somethin’ from my shop.â€
“Like you use on wood?â€
“Or maybe it was the file that comes with nail clippers. I can’t remember which.â€
I loved the Chris story, but did I really need to relive the Mike story on-line?

You mean that’s a somewhat true story?

But back to what should be the point: please reassure Goose that real ghosts don’t find Hallowe’en to be of particular interest.

I want a Goose update on anything otherwordly that may have happened. I love ghost stories.
You filed your own tooth?
I didn’t think your $4 shirt was ugly.

I’ve more than one. You saw me stylin’ in my safari-colored shirt.

Filed down your own tooth? Just get a few more tools, Mike, and you can open up your own garage-based dentistral shoppe.

Once again, a haiku-like comment from Matt.
