Funny conversation with my kids today

    So my 11 year old kid comes up today during breakfast and tells me...

    My friends at school are playing this new game. They balance a pencil over something else and then they put a paper under the pencil with the words "YES" and "NO". They then ask "Charlie, Charlie, are you in the room?". Then pencil will then move to answer the question and if he is in the room, he will answer any questions you have.

    All in the mean time, I was preparing my answer to my kid, thinking I was going to have to remove the scare

    Kid continues: Grandma told me that I need to stay away from those kids. That is I even seat too close to them, something is going to happen to me that is going to make me kill myself or others. Like a daemon will posses me.

    (Some pause. I am almost ready to open my mouth)

    Then kid goes: But I am not scared about that. How would it be possible for the ghost to answer "NO" (as in I am not in the room) if he really isn't there? That's a lie

    That's when I knew everything was ok. I told them that reminded me of the times we've gone in field service, knock on a door and then hear the parents yell from the back to their kids "Tell them we are not home!!"

    From the mouth of babes!

    This was mentioned on The View yesterday. Like one of the persons on the show said perhaps someone is breathing hard or blowing on the pencil to give it a roll.

    I especially love that you didnt jump right in(JW style) but really listened to your child.

    Good parent, lucky kid!

    You really have a smart kid who can think for himself.

    You can be really proud of him and the chances are great, that he is not easily indoctrinated.
