was sent to you by someone you know," tag line. So it tipped itself off. Dumb.

I tried to up the intensity when she got home. She always arrives within 5 minutes of curfew, so I sat on the chair in the living room with my laptop open. I pulled up The Ring trailer and paused it on the iconic ring shot and then sat in the dark staring at the screen until she showed up. The chair faces in toward the living room so that she would be able to only see my screen and the faint outline of my arms dangling off the sides of the chair with my head slumped over.

She ended up coming in and running directly upstairs without seeing me, so I had to whisper out her name. She came down and said, "Yeah?" I sat there without saying anything, and then she said, "Dad, are you trying to scare me?" I continued to sit there without answering. "You're weird." Then she went back upstairs.

Kind of felt like the SNL skit where Pete Davidson's "Chad" was too dumb to be haunted by the masked murderer. Total let down.
