Pre-Halloween Statement

Tomorrow is Halloween. The oldest is going as a Goth Ninja and the youngest as a Nurse. We’re looking forward to spending the evening with my brother and his wife. We’re going to have homemade pizza and then go Trick-or-Treating with the girls.

They will get more candy than they will eat and less candy than they think they need. Along the way we will chat with a few neighbors and pretend to be scared of the scary costumes. The pretty costumes will get compliments. A few children will silly string something. A few others will get scared and go home. One might drag his bag until the candy falls out. Other kids will share theirs with him. Most will have fun just being out after dark in their costumes.

When it’s all said and done, tired children will crawl into bed holding onto the dimming glow of their light sticks and maybe a tootsie roll or two under their pillows.

You know, according the crazy christian at gymnastics, we’ll be worshipping satan. Just thought you should know. If you don’t hear from me in the next few days I’m busy cleaning up the goat entrails and washing the blood of sacrificed fetuses out of the carpet.

Screw you guys. I’m going trick-or-treating.
