Squeaker vs. The Ghost

A while back, we stayed in SuperHubby’s family’s cabin in the remote Missouri backwoods. It hadn’t been used in a while, so we knew we needed to run out for a few supplies. SuperHubby took Munchkin for the twenty-mile drive out to the nearest store, and Buttercup, Squeaker, and I stayed behind, getting things put away and organized for our stay.

Thirty minutes after SuperHubby and Munchkin left, Squeaker walked up to me, pointed, and said, quite earnestly, “Mama, that boy say to sssshhh.”

I looked at Squeaker. Then around the cabin. The very isolated, seldom-used cabin, twenty miles from civilization.

“What did you just say?” I said to Squeaker.

“That boy,” he said, earnestly pointing again. “That boy say to sssshhh.

It turned out he was pointing to a picture, but I had a few very creeped out minutes there. And SuperHubby did too when I told him the first part of the story. But, obviously we all survived, and we’ve had no more interactions with any ghosts.
