Dental Halloween Hijinx

Scene: Grandma J and Grandpa H's house. A, who has been eating an apple, has made the discovery that one of his lower incisors is very loose.

J (leading A upstairs to phone relatives): "Come on, A; we should call Grandma M."

A (following J through lower hallway to stairs): "This would be a great haunted house."

J (reaching the stairs): "Yeah; Aunt J and I used to decorate this house to be haunted during Halloween."

A (finger in mouth): "J! J! I've got something to show you." (Points at stairs)

J: "What?"

A: "Look! Blood!"

J looks down at a small puddle of saliva and blood on one of the stairs.

A (proudly): "I made a mysterious blood stain [just like Oscar Wilde's Canterville Ghost]!"

J (running upstairs to get a wet cloth): Uh, A; make sure you stay off the carpet and don't touch any furniture, OK ?"
