scary game

We used to play a game, we called it the scary game.
We turned off all of the lights, and the boys got one floor, we got the other. The object of the game was to sneak up on each other. Our crackling knees soon gave us away, so we started to play scary music to hide the popping and creaking.
It was such fun. I remember a hand grabbing my ankles from under the side table. My favorite was when I creeped up onto my son in the kitchen, and he jumped straight up into the air like a cat.
