Nicki – Creepy!

Jenn M. – That’s even creepier! There is no way I could have watched that movie like that!

At the time, I thought it was cool, in retrospect, I'm a little appalled. We also talked about the rumor (possibly created by our Reading teacher) that our school was haunted by a bunch of dead nuns (It had been a Catholic high school), and our teacher organized a "field trip" to the "haunted" basement of the school, which was wonderfully creepy, with the giant boiler and rows of old desks and general basement stuff.

The first few stories are mostly jump stories. The last section is okay because they are funny stories. The ones in the middle would probably scare a five and seven year old. Funny that they just got it today. Kim – You’re up late too! The first few stories are mostly jump stories. The last section is okay because they are funny stories.

I need to check something and I'll be right back...I'm back. My kids checked out this book from the library just today and my 7 year old was reading it to my 5 year old. I didn't realize what it was. I'm not sure I want them to read that hook story. That one gives me the creeps so bad. Luckily, I don't think they got very far and the first few stories aren't very scary.
