My granddaughter did something really odd tonight. She was walking past the fron door and said to me "Somebody is knocking at the door."

Now I probably would have heard, maybe not, but the dogs sure would have and they'd have barked. Millie was sleeping, Ozzy looked up, quiet, Rudy went to the door tense, cocking his head. Weird.

So I went to the door - sometimes, even the dogs can miss a noise with Jadi in the house (she's pretty rowdy).
I open the door, but nobody is out there.

"See? Nobody," I said.
"Somebody is there. See?" she insists.
She is not smiling, it's not like she's joking.
I ask, "Who do you see? A man or a lady?"
"It's a lady, an old lady. You should let her in, she's cold." she says, and she opens the storm door.

I was a little unsettled right about then, didn't know what to do, so I closed the door and asked, "Do you see her?"
"Yes, she's right here." she points, like a person has come in, walked betwen us, headed for the next room.
Jadi looked at me funny, still pointing insistantly, "You see her?"


Jadi is 3.5, and she goes off to play, she eats, we watch Snow White like 6 times. You'd think she would forget about this. But about 6 hours later she asks, "Where did that lady go, do you think?"
"I don't know," I said.
"I don't think she's here anymore," Jadi said.

How weird is that?
