This morning at 2:30 Teresa & I awoke to screaming from both children.
I told Teresa “I’ll get Rachael if you get Slane.” Teresa told me Rachael was downstairs, because she was afraid of something in her room.
I went downstairs and found Rach crying on the couch. She said there was a witch in her room. I explained to her that witches are only in her cartoon and books and are not real. Just like animals can only talk on TV witches aren’t real.
I carried her upstairs and showed her there was no witch. She didn’t believe me, saying the witch wanted to taker her blanket and her Rudolph doll.
In her room I asked where the witch was and she pointed behind the bed. I looked and sure enough no witch.
She insisted the witch was there and I thought I was missing some toy or something so I asked her what the witch looked like. She said “green with a pointed hat.” That’s a witch alright.
She wanted me to stay with her so I did and after a half hour I looked at her and her eyes were wide open.
I explained again there was no witch and daddy needed to get to bed. She said “Take my Rudolf and blanket so the witch doesn’t get them.”
So daddy was leaving her to do battle with the witch alone and she was putting the blanket and Rudolf ahead of her own safety.
The night before it was a frog.
