Is seeing really believing?



So, my friends, I think I might be going crazy. (This is Josefina, by the way!) Have you ever seen something that was just too weird to be true? Have you ever doubted your own eyes or your perceptions?

We were all doing our homework this evening. I needed something to use as a straightedge for my math project, so I went to borrow one from the younger kids. When I went into their room, Fiona was sitting there with a pencil resting on her outstretched hand, just sort of staring absently at it. She didn't seem to notice me. While I was watching, it looked like the pencil rose from her hand, and even started to spin a little.

I was too creeped out to ask her about it. And what would I even say? That's just crazy! Right? I wonder if there's something wrong with me.

Love,
Josefina... confused

  1. That is so cool! But I can imagine how strange that would be to witness. I think little kids have a better chance at controlling any type of telekinesis. Maybe Fiona has really good control over her mind? I would keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't accidently hurt herself. Good luck!

  2. Yeah, strange is the word. Or disconcerting.

    Today I finally worked up the courage to talk to Fiona about what I saw. I expected she'd laugh at me or deny it, but she was really calm about it. She said she figured out how to do it awhile ago.

    Fiona also offered to teach me to do this stuff, too. I really doubt I'll be able to, but may as well let her try, right?

    I'm still wondering if I was just tired and seeing things, or if it was a trick, or... something.

    Love,
    Josefina

  3. Wow...that is very neat! I'd probably doubt myself; I always doubt myself when I see something cool or exciting happen.
    Still, that's cool. I'm a little jealous of Fiona at the moment. The only way I could make a pencil move is if I were to blow across a surface.

  4. Maybe Fiona will teach you, too, Sabine! :-)

    I'm still not sure what to think. But if she's teaching me, I should be able to tell if she's faking, right?

    Love,
