Adventures at Night Shift

So, last night I had night shift...and word on the street is that SVP is haunted. This is according to a nun. I haven´t had any encounters so far and I´m crossing my fingers that I won´t, since I´m a pansy about such things. Not that they are real. Anyway.
We just got a new baby in uno named Nicole. She´s a week old, looks a little bit Planet-of-the-Apes-ish and likes to stay awake all night long. This is okay with me, since a requirement of night shift is that I also stay up all night long. But last night she would not stop screaming, so finally one of the workers came and rescued me from 3 hours of rocking and coaxing and sent me into one of the other rooms to give a crier a bottle. At this point in this tantilizing story, it was 3:30 a.m.
On my way down, I heard some strange, catlike noises coming from one of the rooms. After securely propping the aforementioned bottle, I went with timid steps to investigate, thinking perhaps the phantom of SVP was, in fact, of the feline persuasion. Instead, I found this kid... (Francisco, aka Frankie, aka Chancito): ...just hanging out, wide awake and surrounded by toys, one of which made a cat noise. I tried to take them away and convince him to go back to sleep, so he sat on the toys. And I don´t know why (probably the hours I keep), but this made me laugh so hysterically that I woke up half of Sala 3.
I think this is one of those had-to-be-there stories. But, anyway, it´s a cute picture of Frankie, so I thought I´d share. As an aside, if anyone has $20,000, I have great ideas of what you could do with it :).

Pretty spooky. There is always a ghost story about places. What imaginations we have!
