Little Z is easily scared and has, in the past, had a recurring scary nighttime experience of seeing mummies (egyptian style) in her room. Initially, I thought it was just a nightmare, but she was sure she was awake each time it happened. She has not had this 'nightmare' for a while, but it has taken quite a while for her not to feel nervous about being on her own upstairs or having the lights off at night.
So imagine my 'delight' when she started asking about Bloody Mary! Someone at school has been talking about saying 'Bloody Mary' 3 times in front of the mirror and summoning a spirit. Of course, there is always someone on hand to back up the story and say they know someone who has tried it. Bloody Fantastic!
Naturally, she didn't keep this lovely piece of information to herself, but decided to share it with her 6 year old brother, encouraging him to try it out. Needless to say, they have both now scared themselves silly and I have had to remove the mirror from the bathroom as well as turning around the mirror in Little Z's bedroom.
I hope they sleep soundly, but would not be surprised at all to have a knock on the door in the middle of the night. The problem is, I will be too scared to walk passed the mirror to answer it now!

I suggest you pick up some vodka, tomato juice and worcestershire sauce when you go shopping.
Everyone gets a good night sleep and the kids get to learn that bloody mary can actually be something nice!
Nah, that just gives me the choice between cleaning up shit or puke!
