It's ParentNormal Mailbag day. Last Tuesday I shared what was scary good in the ParentNormal News and on Thursday I interviewed Jill Smokler, the creator of the hugely popular parenting website Scary Mommy. So now, I'm answering your scary good questions.

ParentNormal Questions Answered in this Episode:

• I always liked scary stories when I was a kid, but I’m afraid to tell my kids scary stories that might give them nightmares. Do you have a scary story that might find the right balance for kids under 5?
• I don’t understand why my kids are afraid of the dark. Why can’t I explain to them there’s nothing to be afraid of?
• My son asked me if Frankenstein was real and if so who was his daddy? What should I tell my son?
• What are the 10 scariest experiences every parent will face?
