Calling Agent Mulder

A startling development in the Stinson household. A few nights ago, Owen was in his room and Abby crawled in after him. Sue, knowing that a crisis was at hand, went in to fish Abby out and leave her brother alone.

Owen then insisted that Sue leave Abby in his room.

Because "he loves it when she plays in his room."

And he "loves it when she watches him play."

And he encourages her to climb on his bed. (!)

Hello? Owen? Owen Stinson?

We have tried everything over Abby's 11-month life to convince Owen that she really isn't so bad. We have tried the carrot, and the stick. Even the carrot-y stick. None of it has worked.

And now, suddenly, he likes it when she's on his bed?

There's a good chance our son has been abducted by aliens. And replaced with this close-but-not-quite-fake.

We're onto you, "Owen."
