Halloween Parent Post: Spookytown part 1
This is a story from a few years ago when Abby was in second grade. But I was just reminded of it and it never made it onto G+.
“What did you do in school today?”
“Oh! I got three milk cartons!”
“Ok…what does that mean?”
“Papa! For the town!”
“What town?”
“The town. The cartons are for the town.”
“Yes, but what town?”
“The one we’re making in group!”
“And the cartons are buildings?”
“Yes!”
“That seems like it was harder than it needed to be...what kind of town are you making?”
“It’s cool. It’s Spookytown.”
“Are the people like ghosts and mummies and stuff?”
“Yeah, and vampires. And the kids go to Witchy Elementary. And the people drive coffin cars so if they get in an accident they’re already in coffins because they’re dead.”
“Interesting. What other buildings are in Spookytown?”
“There’s a…hmmm…uh…what are those buildings where people who believe in god go?”
“You mean church?”
“Yeah, there’s a vampire church.”
On the town map, upper left. A vampire is hanging off the church cross.

Not to question the logic of a second grader but... wouldn't a cross prevent vampires from entering their church?

ReplyDeleteI love how Spookytown became an understandable piece of jargon in our Tuesday night group. Thanks Abby!
