one should never strike a child however...
david certainly tested my patience during the early barnabas storyline when he broke into the old house(after he had repeatedly been told not to)and encounters maggie done up a la josette collins and fancies her a "ghost".
not only was this clearly not an appparition but a flesh and blood person it was also a girl david knew well and also knew was missing.
now i realize we are supposed to see this scene through the fanciful perspective of an "imaginative child" but it comes across as ridiculous.it's also another case of the writers trying to make david act younger than he was.while this type of fantasy might be reasonably understandable coming from a four year old one would hope an intelligent child of ten would be able to make this differentiation.
