Child Psychic?

So how many of you have young children?

How many of you have young children that make spooky predictions?

Our family and friends are aware of our 'special' little girl. She seems to have the ability to predict when things will happen, my mother in law Lynn said she experienced this also with Helen when she was a young child (Michael's sister) and it's enough to freak you out for life.

When we lived in the old house Bethany woke up one night crying in bed, she said a fire was coming and that we wouldn't be able to get into the house, at the time we just laughed it off and said it was a bad dream. Only a month later we had bush fires outside our home and we were unable to get into our house for a while.

A little while later she told me about it 'going dark' in the garage and that we wouldn't be able to get out...again we laughed it off, and again a little while later I was in there with Bethany when the bulb went and we were stranded in darkness - AND the internal access door was locked.

After that she would stand at the window and stare to the view of the ocean. One day she piped up and said 'you see that big wave? well its going to wash all the houses away', but then she just turned round and started dancing to Little Einsteins.

After laughing it off but really wanting to know more, she explained that a wave would come, the houses in the bay would go and although the water would reach the house we were in, we would be fine next door at Jenny's house which is a bit higher than our house as long as we went there. She had a full story for it. Luckily so far, that hasn't come true.

Since moving to the new house she hasn't really come up with much, well apart from:

Bethany: 'Mammy... is Daddy OK?'
Mammy: 'Yep, he is fine - why?'
Bethany: 'Its going to take a lot of people to make Daddy better'
Mammy: 'Get better from what?!'
Bethany: 'When he has a heart attack'

.....

Yep, a heart attack, I didn't even know she knew what one is....

So with that merry thought in her mind she has now abruptly come up with odd things like 'if something will happen to you, wont it, but it's fine cos I will get a new mammy and daddy?'.

So for those of you who are freaked out now and think we have some type of devil child I can tell you she doesn't really speak like this all the time, she is a normal, loving 4 year old who cant really think beyond a My Little Pony but every now and again just random odd words are thrown in at innocent spaces in time, which she really has no idea about.

Now you see, this was why children play spooky parts in horror movies - there is nothing worse than a freaky child right?
