So my boys are into watching Goosebumps lately on Netflix. In case you don't know, it's a "spooky" themed show with all sorts of scary, dark and creepy stuff happening to kids. Ghosts, jump-scares, that sort of thing. They are a bit cheesy, but for a 9 year old and 6 year old, definitely some disturbing stuff. It got me thinking about how I used to like getting scared. At one stage in my development, I liked fear and scary, gory, eerie movies. Now, I am a huge scaredy cat. I don't really want to see any of that stuff. To be honest, even watching these kiddie Goosebumps episodes give me a few goosebumps. Cheesy, I know. I don't need any more disturbing stuff rattling around my head. There is enough awful true life things happening that adding to it with fantasy fear seems unnecessary. Maybe I'm just getting older or something. I could go on, but for now I will leave you with a creepy poem from the graphic novel I'm reading....
