The Truth Is Out There

Tonight while he was doing his homework Ben said very casually, "I don't know why, but I keep dreaming about going to see the knights, yesterday and today. I had the same dream."

"Knights," I asked, "like knights in armor?" Ben doesn't usually talk about his dreams.

"Yes," he answered. "Knights with metal fingers. They stick them in me."

"Umm," I said, "where do they stick them....?"

"I'm not telling you!" he giggled, "It's gross!" Then, changing his mind, he leaned over and whispered, "IN MY BUTT!" And then went back to happily coloring patterns on his homework sheet.

From my years of watching The X Files, I of course immediately drew the conclusion that OH MY GOD MY SON IS BEING ABDUCTED BY SPACE ALIENS!!!!!

I do, however, take some comfort in the fact that he at least seems to think it's funny...
