“Let’s tell scary stories,” I said.
“OK,” both Sara and Nathan agreed.
So I went first. I thought I was doing pretty well, building up to the exciting and shivery climax.
“Mem, that’s not scary,” one of them said.
“Wait, wait!” I protested. “I haven’t gotten to the really good part yet.”
Then when my story had finished, they both agreed that it was pretty spooky and now, it was someone else’s turn. Both Sara and Nathan added a great deal to their stories with movement, striding or jumping across the room, hand and arm gestures. By the time we had all told a story or two, we had a case of the delicious shivers but it was fun. It was a warm finish to a cold winter day.
