He was shrieking at the top of his lungs that a Snickers bar with a knife was chasing him. He was screaming and sweating, and his ... » Learn More about I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghost!

I Hate Halloween, But…
I've never been excited about putting on a mask and trying to scare someone. Or, more specifically, someone putting on a mask and trying to scare ME. The mere mention of clowns is enough to send me into a tizzy (I'm a treat at the circus), and I don't do well with horror movies. I'd much rather a ... » Learn More about I Hate Halloween, But…
Do You Know What Dexing Is?
She had a lot of friends, guys thought she was pretty.

Maternalosis Degenerative Progression Syndrome: Reversing the Effects of Mom Years
We’re all familiar with the unfortunate nature by which dogs age, adding seven years at a time rather than the normal one people-year. Except, I don’t know many people beyond the age of five who are truly only aging annually; between throwing down too many processed foods, constant exposure to ... » Learn More about Maternalosis Degenerative Progression Syndrome: Reversing the Effects of Mom Years
The Worst Mother I’ve Ever Seen
I hear her before I see her. She is grumbling under her breath because of her toddler's incessant cries. Someone obviously didn't give this lady the memo that crying is what little kids do.
