Overheard today at the Park: Haunted tree

Random kids at the park(running up falling all over themselves)

Can we pet your dog?

Me:

Ok thanks for asking.

Random kids at the park:

Your dog is nice , that one (pointing) is mean, he bites.

Me:

Oh?

Last child remaining: (others interest waning)

That tree is scary.

Me:

Um…what?

Last child :

That tree, its haunted.

Me:

OK...we are going to continue on our walk now, see you later

Last child:

OK (skipping off in a Damien like manner.)

Me:
