3 Scary Stories

1. the other night ruby had her cousin brooks over and they were playing in her room, it got super quiet all a sudden and it worried me....i go in and they were "downing" vitamins by the fist full, out of a costco size bottle (i hadn't locked the lid on tight and it was within reach, ya...whoops) we called poison control since the label said iron overdose could kill....but they told us that they'd of had to eaten 50 or more to be a problem...we weren't so worried until brooks threw up all over ruby's "new room" he had about a 3 pounds of watermelon for dinner so it was a nice color on white carpet! ha! but it came out and they both survived .....furthermore...the vitamins are now high up in a closet...curiosity peaks when there's two...ruby's never tried to eat her own vitamins before...

2. the same night of the vitamin poisoning, ruby was hyped up and would not fall asleep...we cracked her door before we went to bed thinking she was fast asleep......i look out in the hallway a while later, it's nearly 11:00 and i thought i saw a shadow by ruby's door, but i couldn't tell and it was freaking me out, i went to turn on the lamp, marty told me not to that it was nothing, but i could swear something was there, i flip on the light and ruby is standing there like this... (literally)

i jumped about 10 feet and screamed...who knew how long she'd been there, standing still, making that face without saying a word...what a weirdo...

3. we'd just watched a scary movie and were upstairs brushing (and flossing) and i heard a bang on ruby's door....it was after midnight so i knew she couldn't be awake, (mind you-it's still a new house to me and i never watch scary movies, i hate them) so i was scared and made marty quickly open the door in case of a serial killer...he couldn't open it....

ruby had rolled over and kicked the door in her sleep, apparently the floor looked a little more inviting than her bed that night....
