White as a ghost?

Last night at the dinner table, one of Veggie Sticks friends turned white and couldn't speak.
Of course Mr.Man and I thought maybe she was choking or something, so we both rushed out of our chairs to help her.
Just as we got up, she stammered, "I just saw a little boy standing behind you Veggie Stick. He was white and glowing. Didn't anyone else see him?"

Of course no one else saw him.
There was a total of eight of us at the dinner table and Veggie Stick was sitting next to me. The rest of the crowd was busy grabbing their food before it disappeared.

Regardless of what it is that Veggie Stick's friend saw, it brought to mind Little Beatle's imaginary friend.
He acquired an imaginary friend when we moved into our house ten years ago. He was three and that's normally the time that most kids get an imaginary friend, so we didn't think that much about it.
He called him, "Ghost friend."
Hey..it's not Ralph or Bert or Tootles but it's what he chose to call him.

Honestly we didn't think that much about it.
He'd spend hours playing with Ghost friend in his room or outside in the yard. He'd make comments about Ghost friend sitting next to him watching TV or eating lunch with him...you know...normal imaginary friend stuff.

A couple of weird things happened with Ghost friend...
One of the things that made us wonder about Ghost friend, is that Little Beatle told us that Ghost friend said the bathroom used to be his bedroom. Little Beatle was only four years old when he told us that. And it's true that the bathroom used to be a bedroom in this house. My house is almost 100 years old. They did some remodeling in the thirties which included putting a bathroom in upstairs.
We thought that was weird...

Then when Little Beatle was five, we went to Massachusetts to visit our friends, The Bread Beast, Gucci Gal and their son, Hockey Pro.
We arrived at their house, settled in, slept, then got up spent the day touring Boston.
When we got back to the house later that night, Little Beatle goes up to Gucci Gal and says, "Ghost friend is outside on the roof and wants to know if he can come inside."

Well my friend, FLIPS OUT!
She tells Little Beatle that there's no room in the house for Ghost friend,(in a very nice voice) and then comes down stairs and demands, "WHO THE HELL IS GHOST FRIEND!?".

Ghost friend, imaginary friend...it all seemed the same to us.Gucci Gal was horrified that we were so casual about it.

But last night REALLY upset Veggie Stick's friend.
She was truly afraid and white as a ghost....
I don't know what to make of it, but I do know that her reaction was real.

So does this mean we have the ghost of a four or five year old boy in our house?



Who knows?

I know some people don't believe in ghosts.
What do you think?

I lost the gladiator fight today so Miss KIA is getting ready to do homework on the computer...I'll sure be glad when next week comes and I can have the computer all to myself during the day again...

Hopefully I'll get back here tomorrow...see ya then.
