The Green, Glowing Can....

Melissa is sick. She has been sick to her stomach all day. She thinks it is a precursor to labor.

I being the wonderful caretaker, set her up with a massage, a cool cloth on the back of her neck, flat gingerale, and a trash can. She finally fell asleep, and so did I.

At some point in the middle of the night I woke up and noticed a strange green light glowing from Melissa's side of the bed. I could not for the life of me get my brain to wrap around the possibilities.

Sure, I have been joking that Abigail is from another planet and she is so playful in the womb she has to be an alien. I was not counting on her sending for the mother ship at this point.

I lay awake for a long time, even got up to see what it might be. All I could see was the trash can and it was glowing green. I did not remember buying a glow in the dark can, but hey it was possible I got carried away at Target.

The next morning, the can was no longer glowing green. That night, it glowed again. I picked the can up, it stopped glowing. I put the can down, yep it glowed. I was not getting a bit concerned that there was something wrong with my mind. Melissa noticed the look on my face as I sat the can down, picked the can up and sat the can down. I noticed she noticed and found a way to stop. No, I did not explain why the can held such a deep fascination for me.

Later that night I dropped something and it rolled under the bed. As I went to retrieve it, the glowing green can was explained. There was a device, with a small green light, showing it was on, under the bed. The can, a translucent white was reflecting the light when on the floor, and stopped when picked up. The light was stronger during the night and was weak during the day.

Thank goodness I am not losing my mind.

What is that strange blue light on the ceiling?
