So on Sunday, my nephew fell asleep earlier than usual. Typcially, my brother and SIL would go to my sister's house late at night.
Since my nephew was sleeping, they left him in my bed. It was after 1 am, I just cracked the window open, and I slid into bed and my nephew was soundly asleep.
I tossed and turn, trying to get comfy and then my nephew woke up, frantically crying. I flashed my phone at him so he'll know that I'm
there with him. But he pushed pass my phone and curled up into my arm, still crying, covered his head with the blanket. I thought
he was just being needy so I didn't bother much to soothe him, rather, I sort of messed around with him mocking his cries. That just
agitated him and cried even harder and this time, his cry sound more serious, almost sad and scared. He even moved deeper in to
my arms, closer to me. Finally, I took him seriously and now asked him what was wrong but he didn't answer me and just kept on
crying. As I attempted to comfort him with my phone and iTouch, he carried on with his crying, moving closer and closer to me, nearly
pushing me off the edge. Then there it came, the window slammed shut leaving the thin Spring theme curtain gaping, opening a view
into the pitch black outside. That scared the both of us, my nephew's crying ceased instantly, and we both froze. I stared sternly
out that gaping curtain, with deep nervous breaths, as my nephew seemed to be frozen and breathing heavily under the blanket,
still curled in my arms. I stared and stared, preparing to catch a glimpse what may have been scaring my poor nephew.
I lied there, for what seems like the longest minute of my life until my sister broke that minute with, "How did Icon (our lab) get out
of his crate?" But that didn't relief me of my fear, I was still frozen. My sister then finally got out of bed and went to check on Icon
and he was out of his crate. He'd knocked the tub of lotion, I'd used to crack the window ajar, out of it's place, 'causing the window
to fall back down and the speed of the falling window caused a gush of wind that threw the curtain gaping.
*Phew*
I thought I was finally going to see a ghost! And my nephew was crying 'cause he was looking for his parents, not used to being
with his auntie late at night.
