So Jared and I read this book, "A Scary Old House", occasionally - maybe about two or three times an hour. It's got a great plot that builds slowly - first there's a scary forest, with a scary house in it... and in the scary house there's a scary staircase, and so on. It's riveting, you just want to know what's next.
Eventually the boy makes it to the scary room in the scary house, in which there's a scary cupboard. Next to the scary cupboard is an 'old style' portrait from the neck up of a woman in a high-collar dress.
The first time we got to this page, Jared pointed at the picture and said "She used to be a Mommy. But she's dead now."
