you wanna see something really scary

quite sad really. trick or treaters come every year to our door. or as caleb used to call them "tweeters". this year joshua was scared out of his wits when he saw a little boy in a skeleton outfit and his father behind him in his pinhead mask. caleb, eager to see who was there darted to the door. his minions (joshua and reuben) followed. i was not able to get there in time and all i heard was a shriek and the some pattering feet. after handling the "tweeters". the father did express his apologies i went to where joshie was. he was hiding. curled on the sofa with his head buried down not wanting to see what was around him sobbing away. helplessly i watched as he battled his fears inside. we could offer comfort and assurance that we were here. that night, for the first time ever, he wet his bed. we just had to stand there and go through this with him. the following evening we were decided to take an action and light a candle. it was in the form of a lantern that we all lit together and launched it into the night remebering the proverb that it is better to light a candle than curse the darkness. as it went off we asked joshie what he prayed for. he said that there would be no more monsters.
