Bloody Mary...Bloody Mary...
My 10 year old daughter, who is normally a total scaredy cat, has decided that she loves spooky halloween stuff. I had to endure chasing the girls around Spirit Halloween about 6 times this year; everyday they'd ask to go to the halloween store.
They have this mirror that flashes an image of Bloody Mary and screams so Aeries started asking me about her story. We looked it up last night and she kept asking me if it really happens. I assured her countless times that it is just a story that people made up, like Captain Underpants and such. So after the kids got their baths, she told me to turn off the light and say Bloody Mary in front of the mirror. I had both girls stand with me in front of their giant bathroom mirror and she chikened out. Instead, we decided to call upon something that wasn't quite as scary. So we turned off the lights and in unison we said:
"Big Hairy Butt. Big Hairy Butt. Big Hairy Butt. Big Hairy Butt. Big Hairy Butt!"
Needless to say, Aeries, Ayla and I were cracking up.
The only downside - the kids were all riled up and wouldn't get into bed. But it was worth it. I love being silly with them.
