Poltergeist

My wife recently shared a theory that I can’t shift. My one-year-old is a poltergeist.

For a second, let’s just consider what poltergeists actually do. Sure, they’re invisible and that’s their whole thing, but if you ignore that? They float around causing chaos, making loud noises, and re-arranging furniture for no other reason than increasing entropy.

As my one-year-old crawls around the floor, shouting loudly, banging pan lids and fucking shit up…I see it. Maybe he was a poltergeist in a former life. Maybe he imagines he’s invisible. I don’t know.

All I know is that he lives his life like the world is just one big thing that absolutely needs fucking up right now.
