    I agree with Jenka, so feel free to downvote me. There are no such things as ghosts. There *are* such things as bacteria-ridden guano, leptospirosis, and a host of disgusting (some unknown & untreatable) bacteria/pathogens in caves. As adventurous as it sounds, I’ll take the peace & quiet of a nice bed in a “haunted” house.

    *Technically* the sugar high is a myth, but when eating lots of cake and cookies and such, you can certainly get a heavy hit of dopamine that will give you that feeling that is mistaken for a sugar high. Sadly, a sugar crash is very much a real thing, as I know all too well at about 10-11am most work days.

    Who are these parents leaving 12 toddlers in the care of one adult? Daycares usually have a limit of 4 per adult for kids between 2-3 years old. Irrelevant, but still.
