On Ghosts

The 4 y.o.: Mom, there are LOTS of people who died in the grave park there. Is that where ghosts live?
The Mom: It’s called a ‘cemetery’ or ‘graveyard’, sweetie. And instead of ‘ghosts’, I like to say there is a ‘spiritual presence’
The 4 y.o.: You mean like gifts? Stop the car, Mom. I want the ghosts to give me presents for my birthday!
