CHILDREN STORIES

My Parents Are Zombies

Yep, it is official. my parents are zombies.
You know, the walking dead people from horror movies and Halloween tales.
Legends say that zombies are dead people that have been reanimated and can look and act almost like normal humans except for the lack of free will.
Some say that zombies are people under a state of near death, through a spell or magic potion.
My parents truly match these descriptions.
My Mom and dad walk around with ablank stare in their red bloodshot eyes.
They have shaggy looking clothes on, never ironed, and barely clean.
Their skin is leathery and cracked in need of lotion.
Messy hair, long filthy finger nails, no make up on, and unshaved.
bad breath, dirty teeth, chapped lips, and in my Mom's case no lipstick on.
Mom and dad eat nothing but cold leftovers and burnt toast. But mostly they skip meals and just nod and fall asleep at the dinner table.
Experts say that to get rid of a zombie you have to break their spell, but this may hurt their chances to ever be normal again.
Wow, not so fast! They are my parents after all and I don't want anything bad to happen.
All I wish is for them to be able to have a good night's sleep, a warm bowl of soup, and if it is not too much to ask, a nap every now and then would be great.
I can't wait for this to happen because it is so embarrassing to be seen with them at the mall.
I guess it all will happen when by little baby brother stops teething and learns ho to sleep through the whole night.
