[{"comment":"Great story! I really like how curious the boys are, and how grandpa is still encouraging them (and pulling pranks) in ghost form. I assume he only appears on Halloween? I think that\u2019s what you were alluding to at the end.

I mean, Tom ;)Adorable read! Loved the playfulness of Arthur's soul at the end regardless of his physical body being present, or not.We both wrote about ghosts, just in a different way.

"ghostly altruism""absolutely no fashion sense" haha so true. And then the debate about how pumpkins fit into the whole Halloween ghostly ecosystem was a good topic.

A festive tale! I love Arthur's character. Sweet enough to observe his grandchildren but also funny enough to scare them for fun! The dialogue was great, too, how the boys try to make sense of the physical aspects of ghosts. Humans really do need to rationalize everything, and the argument over the purpose of the eye holes\/sheet was very believable. The peas were a great touch - think I might be adding some to my pumpkin this year!

It was actually the error about the ghost being under the sheet, not the actual sheet that inspired the story really. I just thought it would be a funny back and forth if two kids spitballed over the science of ghosts, like it was concrete analysis.
