get picked up by your old man!” John carried him through the house and tossed him to his bed.
    “ So can we watch it?” Jake begged, rolling off the bed and bouncing to his feet.
    John chuckled. "Alright, pal.  Go wash up and brush your teeth and we'll watch it.  Better hurry though."  He said, looking down at his watch.  "You've got about twelve minutes till it starts."
    Jake sped past his dad at Mach speed, taking the fastest bath of his life then dressed in his pajamas. Lathering up his toothbrush with a generous portion of toothpaste, he scrubbed his teeth rigorously. He landed on the couch just as the show was starting.  The ceiling fan rattled loudly above. John was fiddling with the rabbit ears on top of their little thirteen-inch television.
    “ Right . . . no . . . right, right there! Right there!” Jake yelled as the picture finally cleared up.
    "Aha! Just in time!"  John dropped down on the couch wrapping his arm over his son’s shoulders.
    The deep, spooky voice of the show’s host came on followed by an eerie music sequence: Tonight on, That's Unbelievable! We'll travel to Oregon where we will meet a family of real life vampires that claim to live off the blood of animals!   A clip of several teenagers with slicked back hair and long fanged teeth came on.  One of them snarled at the camera eliciting a deep booming laugh from John.
    "Shhh!"  Jake yelled at him, wondering what was so funny.
    "I'm sorry, Jake."  He said, wiping tears from his eyes.  "It just amazes me what people will do for attention.  Vampires feeding off animals!  That's a first!"
    "Shhh!" Jake scolded again.
    Then we'll take you on a trip to Southern Georgia and introduce you to a man that claims he's caught footage of the legendary Bigfoot!  A shaky video clip with something big and black moving through the trees came on the screen followed by a man with a long black beard in ripped overalls.  I seen him!  He was covered from head to toe in long black hair!
    "Looks like a guy in a monkey suit,” John said.
    "Shhh!"  Jake said, slapping his dad’s knee.
    Finally, we'll introduce you to a man that claims the federal government is in league with alien invaders hell bent on dominating the entire human race through alien abductions!  A clip of a blacked out man with his voice altered came on.   They want to harvest us for our organs.  And the government is in on it!
    “ I should have known!” John joked. “It’s always the aliens!”
    All of this and more on tonight's episode of That's Unbelievable!
    "You got that right,” John laughed.  "That's definitely unbelievable!"
    For the next hour, they sat on the couch watching strange tales from around the country. John seemed to get a big kick out of the vampire story. He laughed hysterically through almost the entire thing.
    It was the alien abduction story that spooked Jake the most.  He watched the reenacted alien abduction scene wishing the living room wasn't quite so dark. When the end credits began to roll, he was downright scared.  His eyes kept glancing down the darkened hallway, half-expecting to see a gray alien with red eyes staring back at him. He shivered at the very thought.
    "Time for bed, buddy,” John said, causing him to jump off the couch cushions. John gave him funny look. "I knew I shouldn't have let you watch that,” he said, shaking his head. “Now I’ll be up half the night with you thinking there are monsters hiding in your closet.”
    Jake did his best to put on a brave face.  "It's okay, Dad.  Really."
    "Uh huh,” John said, skeptically.
    "You know I don't believe in things like that anymore!"
    "Uh huh,” John said again.  "Anyway, tough guy, it's time for bed.  It's way past your bed time."
    "But Dad how am I supposed to sleep when it's still a thousand degrees in here?"   Jake asked, wiping his sweaty brow with the front of his black pajama shirt.
    "Well hopefully we'll get some rain in the next few days,” John walked him to
