During my ritual Straightening Before Bed I discovered an empty book shelf and a floor full of books. Bemusedly, I started picking the books back up, trying to figure out when the kids had time to take them all off the shelf again and why hadn't I noticed them doing it, when it hit me. . . my house could be haunted and I would never know it.
I suddenly imagined a poor neglected ghost moving things around, dumping things off shelves, making things disappear right after I set them down (my darn keys), unfolding newly folded laundry; he could be causing the cold spots, the house's sudden drops in temperature, Eleanor getting shut into rooms inexplicably, the disembodied weird sounds and voice I blame on the baby monitor without giving a second thought. He could be doing all these things just trying to get noticed.
But I would never notice.
I would just assume it was the kids or the house or frankly, just be too preoccupied to notice anything was weird at all.
Poor Little Ghostie.

Oh you are so funny! How hilariously clever of you. I wonder if I have one of those ghosts too...
He must feel so frustrated in his career.
I think that is hilarious too. Poor little Ghost. All he wanted was some attention.
Maybe if you give him some more attention he will go away.
I love this post. It's one of those ones that confirm to me that someday you will write a wonderfully clever and touching book. But you know, no pressure. :)
Emily has a great idea there! Do it, Buffy!
