Paranormal Parenting Activity

Being a parent is scary, mostly because children are terrifying, and not just in that nightmarish “standing silently next to your bed in the middle of the night” kind of way…

All sorts of crazy, unpredictable, and unbelievable things happen when you have kids in your life. (You know what they say: Parenting is like a box of chocolates, NOT ALL OF THAT IS CHOCOLATE OMG DON’T EAT IT!)

Not all of it makes sense.

Having children upends your life in ways both small and profound, and every once in a while the things that happen can seem supernatural. Because once kids are involved, normal rules no longer apply.

I made a list of some of the strange happenings that occur when you’re a parent.
