- I get to dress up in goofy clothes and people think I’m cute instead of weird.
- Strange men sit on their stoops in pairs, drinking beer and handing out candy. They love it. The kids are hesitant. They have an innate sense that something is not quite right. The parents hover on the sidewalk wondering if this is a good idea.
- Everyone comes out of their houses to smile at complete strangers.
- High school boys get away with asking for candy without even wearing a mask.
- I get to carve a pumpkin.
- The lady across the street was bored since there were barely any kids around so she dressed up in her witch costume (broom too) and hobbled up and down the sidewalk.
- Everyone tells me my child needs a bigger treat bag.
Happy Halloween
Love the new title of the blog by the way.
Also was taken with the second dot point on this post, what a great observation.
