I would like to touch on the topic of demon possession.  Today I was able to verify what I have long suspected, namely that my youngest child is possessed by some sort of demon, possibly by legions.

I have often tried to catch her in the act of levitating above the bed, but I never quite seem to get in there in time.  But I suspect she can.  I also have reason to believe that she can, indeed turn her head all the way around.  I have witnessed this in the morning, when I try to brush her hair.  She also speaks in tongues during the morning hair ritual.  I also speak in tongues, but since this blog is PG, I will not repeat some of my phraseology.

But today was the clincher.  Today was an awful morning.  My older children were horrible and nasty to one another.  What, you may ask gentle reader, makes this different from every other morning?  The spirit of PMS has come upon me, rendering me unable to cope with their nastiness.

So I decided we would all say a rosary together.  I have done this before with success.  Usually, the act of reciting the prayers calms them and we are feeling better by the time we get to school.  But not this morning, oh no.  Because Reagan was with us, in the body of Anna Charlotte.

For the first Hail Mary, she was ok.  But by the second one, she was screaming "stop saying that" in a very shrill tone, almost as if it pained the demon to hear the very words.  By the 4th one, she was in hysterics and screaming for us to stop.  She did this from Valleydale, ALL the way to OLV. 

In between decades I would scream at her "to knock it off before I hurt you" and the ever popular "I'll give you something to cry about".  This is very conducive to establishing a deep, spiritual bond with the mother of our Savior who probably never said "One more word mister and you'll be full of something and it ain't grace!!"

So anyway, I am going to try to get an appointment for Anna to see if we can perform some sort of ritual cleansing.  Or maybe I'll just start using duct tape on her mouth during the ride to school!!
Ciao,
