When our son was 3, he smeared Crayons all over our light-colored carpet. When I got home and got pissed, he looked right at me and in a way-too-solemn-voice said, "My bones made me do it".

Freaked the SHEET out of us at the time, but now we use it whenever one of us screws something up. He's 25 now.

What was in the kitchen?

Take it back to the store and get a new one.

Seems like sleepwalking. Mine went through a phase where she would do stuff like that and then have no memory of it the next day. It's creepy af.

I'd start worrying when she starts saying "redrum…redrum".

You have an insomniac autistic kid.

Next.

I think she might be part seagull as well because she walks around saying MINE all the time.

When my daughter first started her period I was pretty sure she was possessed.

You should have told her to stop

TLDR - my kid sits in random places in my house in the middle of the night staring at nothing and not making a sound.

You have a cat. HTH.

How old is the kid.

Yeah, it sounds just like sleepwalking. My son did it for a while. The worst time was when my daughter screamed bloody murder in the middle of the night. We ran into her room and found our son standing in her closet with his back to everyone. Our daughter said when she asked what he was doing he responded "can't a guy take a piss in private" - he wasn't actually pissing and we got him back to bed. He had no memory of it in the morning.

Lay all the smart a$$ comments aside, this is serious and not funny. She needs professional help. Do it ASAP!!

For sleepwalking?

She'll grow out of it.

I read this while sitting with our 2 year old daughter last night at 2am. I could hear the pitter patter running to our door and just saw her standing and watching (obvious hesitation to come in). After finishing this thread we'll go ahead and medicate her.

Is your son's idol Najeh Davenport?

Sleepwalkers. I have a friend… whose son walked downstairs in the middle of the night ( even though there was a bathroom upstairs) … my friend had accidentally left the dryer door open the night before. She heard a really loud noise .like a water hose on high . Oops

Hey kid wake up - that's not a toilet.

On a serious note, kids do some weird things because they get nightmares. I have a kid in college and I remember all the scary nightmares that I got at age 7.
So she might be scared, have her sleep with you in your bed for some time. At least in the same room.

If she levitates at night, then now you have a big problem.

My daughter did that at age 3. She woke up, went downstairs in the dark and started walking around. I heard a noise and went down at 2-3am and found her with a scared "where am I" look. I picked her up and she cried a lot. I put her back in her bed and she was fine. She has no memory. She is in 9th grade now and has been okay.

My older son, in college now watched something and spent days and nights in fear. Then I had tease it out of him that he watched Arthur. He would not tell me what so he said that "someone was there and poof disappeared". So a lot of Google searches later I found the episode that scared him.

An old lady comes in a train, and then disappears as she is a ghost. So to show him that it's no big deal, I watched the entire episode with him on my lap. He saw that it wasn't scary. He was fine after that.

Episode.

Don't answer that, somebody be watching!

I moved into an apartment in LA a year and a half ago and my dog was doing similar things in the middle of the night. Complete with footsteps and weird noises.

LA hippie people told me to sage the house. I did. It all went away.

Take that for what you want. Good luck! Although I think her being scared and wanting to sleep with her parents sounds more likely.

Obligatory user name does not check out.

My youngest, who was ~2 at the time, used to crawl into our bed in the middle of the night and my wife ended up sandwiched between us. She'd complain she wasn't getting any sleep b/c the kid kept showing up. I told her to just tell him to go back to bed when he showed up. She says "I don't realize he's there until I try to roll over!". I'm all, "How can you no know he's crawling into the bed at night". On night I put him to bed and tell him to stop crawling into bed b/c he's keeping mom up and she cannot sleep. Stay in bed until you see the sunlight in the window.

Of course I wake that night at 2AM with him right next to me and I had no idea he was there…it was then I realized we had a ninja baby in the house!

I'd start by getting rid of the painting they used in the horror movie 1408

Sir, this is Texas. The proper word is y'all.

Our kids would sleepwalk when they were 3&4.

Never had any creepy moments but the youngest one took a crap in my work shoes while she was sleepwalking.

I remember the old days when I was about 7 and I'd get nightmares and run up to my parent's room and snuggle right next to my mother. There isn't a safer warm feeling in the world.

I have a cousin that would sleepwalk. She was probably 7 or 8 and my aunt heard some noise in the kitchen in the middle of the night.

My cousin was turning the dishwasher on and off and had a Tupperware bowl on the counter that she was flipping over with a spatula like she was making a pancake.

Another time my aunt and uncle got a call in the middle of the night from a neighbor who had a daughter the same age named Tisha. Tisha and my cousin were best friends.

My cousin sleptwalked out the back door, crossed the street, and went down the road about five houses and rang the doorbell.

When Tisha's dad answered the door all bleary-eyed, my cousin said "Can Tisha come out and play?"

He took her in and put her in bed with Tisha and called my aunt.

That one was pretty scary.

OMG!

When my stepdaughter was around 5 or 6, she would sleepwalk. We'd wake up to her standing beside our bed with her long black hair covering her face, looking like she just crawled out of a TV. It scared my wife so bad one time, she almost punched her before she realized who it was.

Well I finally caulked my baseboards only 5 months after redoing some of the floors. Thanks for the motivation, texags.

Did you break your wrist or not?

Nope.
