I think the children on my block are vampires.

[conuly]

They only ever seem to come out to play when the sun goes down. And you're thinking "Well, it's winter, it goes down early" and that's true enough (although now that we're past Groundhog's Day the sun is up until past five! Spring is springing!) but... they do this in the summer too! And I know, you're thinking "Well, it's hot in the summer" and that's *also* true, but... in the springtime? And don't blame school, because this goes on on weekends as well. They stay in all day, and then as soon as the sun goes down they're playing in the street (kickball lately) wearing dark clothes.

Dark clothes!

They're minimally supervised vampires, it's the only explanation.
