Ghost in the Darkness

Last night I was awoken in the middle of the night suddenly by light. It was about 12 o'clock and I realized that the light was on and Jenny was looking at me.

She said,"What did you do that for?"

Strange, I thought. Why would she be asking me that question. Did she not see that I had just woken up. I asked her why she turned the light on.

"I thought you did," was her reply.

Again, strangeness. My first thought was, "Then who did?".

I believe her thoughts were the same because we both looked toward the door. Suddenly we realized we were not alone. There was a third person in the room. We almost yelled with fright at the strange ghostly outline of.......

.....our daughter.

To give you some background. We had just passed a milestone. We took out the crib and she has begun to sleep on a mattress until we can get her a proper bed. So she can now get out of bed and she apparently walked over to our room and turned on the light. But she did not say anything and after we regained our senses we noticed her lower lip protruding, clearly with fright about ready to cry.

"It must have scared you," Jenny said to Nadia.

"Scared", she mumbled.

Jenny held her a bit and took her back to her room. Apparently the mosquito net fell down. Poor thing! That must have been awful. I would have been scared, or frustrated, either one would create a protruding lower lip.

We put her back to bed, thankful it was not a ghost!
