I always answer "What are you going to be for Halloween?" with "A grownup."

Windy Wilson said...: I'll have the same costume tonight that I always trot out at Halloween. Some years ago I found some small rubber goat horns in a color that matches my skin tone. Nonchalantly handing out candy dressed normally with the horns, the sub 4-year-old crowd are awestruck and nearly too terrified to take the candy.

"They're not!"

Halloween is not my favorite holiday. This is the first time in years that we've even planned to be home for it.; 8:32 AM, November 01, 2013
