Seeing Ghosts

Just to be perfectly clear, this is a picture of Maci, not the ghosts she saw. That's right, just in time for halloween, I would like to share another exchange between Maci and I.
Me "Maci, who were you talking to?"
Maci "Fred and Freddie"
Me "Who are they?"
Maci "You know those guys, downstairs. But they are just little guys."
Me "Yeah, but they are just pretend, huh?"
Maci "No they're real. You know the boys downstairs? Fred and Freddie?"
Me "Were they nice? Did they talk to you?"
Maci "Yeah they were nice."
Me "Were they little or bigger than you?"
Maci "They were little boys but they are a little bigger than me. C'mon I'll show you."

So she takes me to the edge of the stairs and points down them with a smile and says, "See them mom?" No! There was nothing there. So I laughed and said, "oh you mean the shoes" (because she always names inademate objects and treats them like people). But no, she assured me there were people there, little boys Fred and Freddie, who I couldn't actually see. At least they seemed nice. Honestly, where has she ever even heard the names Fred and Freddie? Happy Halloween Everyone!
