Such a Jokester!
Losing a loved one can be a traumatic experience, but we can all take solace in the fact that maybe their spirit is still in this world. Of course, we don’t want to be haunted by their ghosts, but what if their ghosts came into your child’s room and started cracking joke after joke?
That’s what happened to his person’s daughter and their departed relative who was named Darien. The kid would wake up in the dead of night, laughing at the jokes Darien supposedly told her in her bedroom. We wouldn’t find this comforting in the slightest, so the OP is a much braver person than we could ever hope to be.
