Post # 20666. Hmmm.
Finally got around to watching The Possession. How scary was it? Well, when the Jewish exorcist said they had to know the name of the dybbuk so they could cast it out, we cried, “Mxyzptlk!” and Manny called, “Rumpelstiltzkin!”
And the whole day is passed watching Sesame Street videos. The Alligator King! It’s a lovely 11 morning! Melon with mophead singing the aria from Carmen!
Yeah, that’s how scary it was. When the dybbuk exited its host and crawled back into the box, it looked exactly like a tiyanak. We recalled Mary Walter saying, “Maligno ang batang yan” and scared ourselves.
Kltpzyxm!

Happy Centennial Ms. Walter!!
Thank you for enlightening us kids back then, on the real purpose/use of “palaspas” that adorned our houses. :D
