Gus Was A Friendly Ghost
“What’s a haunted house?”

My daughter is four years old and, a few days before Halloween, she’s decided to start asking questions.

I wring out the washcloth, buying time. We don’t talk about these kinds of things around her. She has a couple of picture books, but…

“What honey?”

“What’s a haunted house?”

“Well . . . that’s a house where ghosts live.”

For a minute I think I might have dodged the real question.

Nope…

“And what’s a ghost?”

“Well…”

That’s not so easy to answer.
