Lol's!

I was watching a family tv show on Netflix, and the littlest son was having issues sleeping because he believed the headless horseman was going to break through his window and do who knows what to get a head. The dad would have to read him a special book and sit with him before the kid could fall asleep. Well the uncle, normally a very irresponsible person, somehow gets the job of watching the kids while the parents go out to dinner. The parents come home and the dad asks the little boy if he'd like him to come upstairs and read to him. He says no, I'm not afraid anymore, uncle what's-his-moniker fixed that problem, and pulls out a Halloween mask of a severed head from under his blankie and scares his dad. The idea was that the fake head was already pre-severed and waiting to go, so if the headless horseman came by, he'd just happily take it and go on his merry way. It made me laugh so hard! It's not something a parent would think of - giving a kid something scary that could cause nightmares to get rid of another nightmare LOL. But it made me laugh because it's something so logical that it just might work!
