Annie has a hyperactive imagination. Much like me when I was younger, she is afraid of the dark and imagines monsters and ghouls in open wardrobes! Scary movies are a definite no-no, as they give her nightmares and keep her awake in the night! At the cinema, I even have to warn her of scary movie trailers so she can cover her eyes!
So the other day we were heading home in the car, from a day of playing with the cousins.
As usual, everyone was talking to me at the same time and above the ruckus, I heard Annie asking softly:
Annie: Mummy, do we have lizards in our house?
I did not answer, as I was busy attending to the others, not to mention driving as well!!
So, she asked again:
Annie: Mummy, do we have lizards in our house?
Mum: Yes Annie. Why?
She did not answer me.
I persisted, because I could hear the tone of serious concern in her voice:
Mum: Why Annie?
After some hesitation, she confessed:
Annie: (Cousin) Timothy said that if there are no lizards in your house, it means that there are vampires...
!!!!!
Hahahahaha!!! I was laughing my head off when she added:
Annie: Uncle Polycarp told him one...
Lizards?? Vampires???
Uncle Polycarp???!!! What do you have to say about this???!! Hmmm???
