Attenuation

[ehowton]

Its a long held myth that children and animals operate on an alternate frequency than us adults; percieving things differently as a product of their innocence. But much like Joel Haley Osment claiming he could see dead people, so it was with my father when he heard a young voice announce, "I can see him."

My father was in the store and there was a child in his mother's cart staring right at him when he turned around. "I can see him."

"Of course you can son, he's not trying to hide from you."

"I know." The child in the cart said. "He's a monster."

Even he was surprised by the assertion!

Your dad is such an onery sweetie, that he is the LAST person who should elicit the moniker, "Monster."

So the child thought your father was a monster! Did your father make a funny monster-like face at the child?

Most children laugh at me so do their adult counterparts LOL.

Yes. He literally roared at the child, startling him into silence. Thankfully the mother was amused at the exchange.
