The Ghetto Sheet

If you’re in our family room watching t.v. during the day, there’s sometimes a glare on the screen because of the natural light coming in via the kitchen. When it’s just the three of us  at home watching tv or playing video games in the middle of the day and there’s a glare, Donny or myself will put up the ghetto sheet.   We take two push pins and hang a sheet across the opening  to block the light.  Don’t judge us!

The other night I was on the couch watching t.v., the sheet was up, and I felt like someone was behind me. I whipped my head around only to find the ghetto sheet looking back at me.  Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, my eyes traveled downward and I saw Kali’s two little sock clad feet.  Like something out of a horror movie about evil little children.

“Kali?”, I called nervously.

“Yes?, she replied cryptically.

“Umm, whatcha doing?”

“Looking at this spider on the ceiling.”
Whew, I thought, my child isn’t evil. She’s just weird.
