Invisible Elizabeth

When Dominga and I went to the supermarket, Dominga bought some DAS modelling clay. When we got home, we made some clay models.

Clarissa made a face, a snail (or rather a rolled up sausage) and a dice, Dominga made a basket and some roses and I made a cat, a dog and a snail. Today Clari and I painted them with some of her poster paints.

I managed to paint them myself and not have a grabby Clari excitedly splodge green paint everywhere..

As we were painting, Clari looked up at me dead in the eye, all serious, and she said.

"You know, there's a ghost in our house."
"Is there?"
"Yes," she said solemnly. "Invisible Elizabeth."
"Invisible Elizabeth?" I said, trying to keep a straight face.
"Yes, that is what she called."

"Why 'Invisible Elizabeth'?" I asked. She shrugged.
"You know, one time I was in a room by myself and the door shut. But no one was closing it! I was the only person!"
" - It was Invisible Elizabeth?"
"Yesss!"

I'll have to keep an eye out for this Invisible Elizabeth.
