Zombies!

March 5, 2011

Alright, so last Saturday, after begging me for a half hour, I allowed my daughters to watch a zombie movie. I was in the room, working on my book but hardly paying attention to the movie. That night, my oldest, who's always been easily stressed out by scary movies, came down to the living room around 1 AM. She was having a sleepover with her sister, so I didn't think she would be scared. But she was and this was her fear: her sister made a sound in her sleep, reminding her of the zombie noises from the movie and so, logically, she thought that her sister was bitten by a zombie and this would result in her waking and biting her!

Well, I assured her that it'll be a cold day in hell before I allow a zombie into my house, up the stairs and into my kids room to turn them into zombies...and all while I'm awake! I know how to kill zombies, after all...and they do move really slow (this is one of their scary qualities, in her opinion; I don't know why, it's one of the reasons why zombies would be my choice monster to chase after me).

But this is from a girl who was afraid to watch Scoobydoo. I should have known better...although, the next morning we all had fun with our youngest child zombie...
