halloween fun

here’s a great story about my favorite Halloween.
I dressed up like a scarecrow (i.e. stuffed my pants and sleeves with newspaper and wore a weird shirt that only a scarecrow would think about wearing), and sat in a chair on my porch, with a bowl of candy on my lap. (this leaves room for sick jokes, but halloween is a kid’s holiday, and I didn’t do anything sick). For some of the trick-or-treaters, I would sit perfectly still. and listen to them ask their moms if I was real as they walked away. “Of course not.” was my favorite response from the mothers. I was doing my job well. Sometimes, I scared people as they grabbed the candy, and some people were too scared to even get candy from the bowl, fearing that I mights scare them to death. I felt really accomplished.
