This Is Halloween
Halloween snuck up on us this year.
Our plans for a zombie graveyard have been reduced to one sad little ghoul propped up against a rock.
We have ghosts hanging from the eaves, spiders crawling up a web, and rats gnawing on pumpkins, but it all looks a little underwhelming to me, like it's some Halloween display at Walmart.
The kids are happy with it, though. They think it's scary enough to make the neighborhood toddlers wet their pull-ups.
If the trick-or-treaters don't like our decorations, at least they'll love our candy. I passed right by the big bags of poisoned Chinese candy and bought the good stuff: Reese's Cups, Hershey's bars, M&Ms, Whoppers, and KitKat bars.
I did buy one small bag of cheap lollipops for the slouching teenagers with the hoodies pulled over their head who didn't get the memo that 16 is too old to be begging for candy.
I hope you all have a Happy Halloween with your kids.
Just remember the real reason for the season:

That video is hilarious! Thanks for the early morning Halloween laugh!!
If I wasn't nearly twice over your age limit I would be knocking at your door.
me too... I was going to say I'm stopping at your house...but I guess I am a little over aged... oh, ok.. and long ways over aged...
Just got back from talking my two youngest out. Now I'm noticing that it's the 16 year old crowd that comes later. Maybe it's time to turn off the porch light. On second thought, I think I'll do what Grace Turnbow used to do when she ran out of candy when I was a kid - she would give out soda crackers. I think that's very fitting for the 16 year old gang. Now where did my wife put that last box of Saltines? Hopefully, it's a cheap no-name brand.
you mean I am not the only one who buys cheap candy for the teenagers?
Yeah, but did you buy the dumb little "fun-sized" candy bars or the big honking REAL-sized ones? If you did that you'd be the rock star of your neighborhood.
Do those cheap lollipops keep the eggs and TP away?
