Thoughts From Halloween Night
Halloween is always an interesting “holiday” and today was no exception. Here are just some random thoughts of mine after our recent jaunt through the neighborhood:
1. Halloween is one night a year that kids come around for candy. Can’t ya keep the lights on and spend a few bucks to give kids a little bit of joy? Why turn all of the lights off and sit up in your bedroom and pretend you don’t hear anyone walking up and down the street?
2. At one house, my kids were given tennis balls. Yes, I said tennis balls. Where the hell did that idea come from? I imagine the conversation going like this:
Husband: Honey….what are we going to give to the kids on Halloween?”
Wife: Oh I don’t know honey…how about tennis balls?
Husband: Great idea! You know that tennis balls are all the rage now and I bet that kids will tell everyone in school the next day that they got a tennis ball in their bag of candy!
Here’s the worst part though. They were used tennis balls. That’s right. I said used. That’s pathetic!
3. Please try to keep up with the movies and shows that kids watch. My son dressed up as Mr. Incredible — the lead character of the movie called “The Incredibles”. Mr. Incredible’s uniform has a big I in the middle of his chest.
My kids walked up to someone’s house and the husband said “so…what are you supposed to be? Um…Superman…no……hmm let’s see…there’s an I on your chest. Are you Information Man?”
Dude…WTF?!?!? Information Man? Where the hell did you come up with this sh*t? And what lame cartoon creator would call one of his characters “Information Man”?
4. It’s fall –which means that tons of leaves are falling off of the trees every day. Is it THAT hard to clean off your driveway and steps before Halloween so my kids don’t fall down and crack their skulls open? I know you’re being nice by giving my kids candy, but no Snickers bar is worth a head wound!
5. I actually saw a kid trick-or-treating from house to house — while his lazy ass parents sat in a car in front of the house he was at. They, of course, moved down the street as he did. Either they have some rare “if I go in the rain, I’ll melt” disease or they are two of the worst (and laziest) parents I’ve ever seen in my life!
