Blood sucking creatures

No, not lawyers.

Vampires.

Skibo has learned, somewhere, somehow, of vampires.

He told me this morning that his best (imaginary) friend Dodo drinks blood. We had a little discussion about that, involving words like "yuck" and "ugh". A little later we found out that he had a dream last night about vampires, and he used the word "vampire". We are assuming that it was probably a particular child who told him of these (non-)beings: he's often the source for tales we'd wish untold, but that is okay. We need now to work on emphasizing that vampires are imaginary. And that they can't come in unless invited. Oh, and eating garlic is good for you.

Yours, with garlic breath,
N.

Oh no, not the blood-sucking vampires!! Still, it's a good way to encourage garlic eating...
