Ghost Jumper

The girls stood in the study area of our home, about three feet apart and facing each other. They had a long chain of rubber bands in their hands, and rotated it in the space between them, like it was a jump rope. I walked through to place something on the table and looked at them.

And this is what they said: We're playing jump rope. With a ghost. He's really good.

So simple, so poetic, so funny.
