“You know what happened? My dog, she ran to me and cried like someone hit her. But I go to my room, and no one there.” -her

“No, I think bad spirits live in my new apartment and they hit her.”-her
“Gross, like ghosts?” -me
“Yes, you think my dog can see the ghosts?” -her
“No. That’s scary. You should move.” -me

“No, I’d cry.” -me
