Woman Auctions Father's Ghost on eBay to Ease Son's Fears
"A northwest Indiana [mother] is easing her 6-year-old son's fears of his grandfather's ghost by selling it online."

Okay, if you don't know it, I'm not a parent. Maybe if I were, this would make more sense to me. To me, it's crazy! Apparently it was the child's idea. If the tyke had said, "Let's drive the car off a cliff!", would the mother have done that too? Wouldn't it make more sense to take this opportunity to explain your religious beliefs? I thought Christianity didn't believe in ghosts. Wouldn't Grandpa be in Heaven?

But no, it's easier to do what the kid wants, and give him the money so he can get a new X Box for Christmas, so any possible hope of real learning is just down the drain.

Parents out there in the audience, please feel free to tell me if selling ghosts on eBay to appease six-year-olds is good parenting. Personally, I would not sell my dad's soul. But that's just me, I'm kind of sentimental that way.
