Spooky for sure! Though I have to admit, when my son was an infant I could have sworn all the clocks were stopped during his witching hour. I swear, time stood still some evenings. Thanks so much for hitchhiking, Sue – I hope you'll be back for next week's gargleblaster!
A mix of spooky and sad, loved it.
