10.31.18 - Kid snippets: I'm not scary!

Clara is wearing all black today because later we're probably going to give her a black witch hat and go trick or treating for a bit. Anyway this morning I walked into our completely dark living room and she was standing there, silently, the only thing you could really see is a tiny pale face. Apparently she was waiting for me to light our jack-o-lantern. She said "Mama? Pumpkin? Candle?" As I lit the candle she went to sit on the couch and observe. I moved out of the way so she could see the Jack-o-lantern in all its glowing glory, and she laughed and squirmed happily and then announced "I'm not scary! [She means 'scared'] It's just a *pumpkin*!" Lol.
