DAILY SNACK
Colum was going to be a ninja turtle for Halloween
And Irene was to be a Lady Bug.
Until, at the last minute, Colum decided to be a ninja wolf.
Hmm. How about a lion? ROAR.
We have a lion costume already.
And so it was.
The trick or treating was good,
But not as magical as it was two years ago.
(Or last year so I hear but I wouldn’t know because I wasn’t allowed to go because I just birthed a baby and no I’m not still moping.)
I blame the swine flu.
But there was the nice, sad old drunk guy who was giving out these:
Candies for the kids
And cookware for the parents who work so hard, he said.
Also for the teenaged girls, apparently.
You should have seen their faces.
And then, of course, there’s the house on High Park that always goes all out:
They also had a guillotine and electric chair
And dry ice smoke effects
And flashing lights
And a cemetary
And more.
And she had the nerve to give Ed a hard time for having a baby out so late.
Really? Really?!
Lady, where I come from Halloween is for the kids.
