Remember?
Tuesday, October 31st, 2006Remember back in the day when you were a kid and halloween came around? You would be so geeked to get out and start walking door to door. You would be wearing your costume which unlike costumes of today, was made out of a colored hospital gowns that tied in the back and a mask that had a two nostril holes and a slit for a mouth. The slit no doubt was there for you to try to stick your tongue thru. By the time you would make it back home the mask would no doubt be either in the bag of treats or on the top of your head as if spider-man was looking towards the heavens. What ever happened to those?
Another thing I remember about this fateful night was being able to walk by my self thru my neighborhood. My parents would send me off at 6 and would welcome me home at 8. Now a-days you see parents walking with the kids thru the neighborhood stand on the street and watch the little ghost and goblins go to the door for the treats. I have been told this is because of bad people that want to snag up children and grind there bone into dust for their bread. I like to believe that it’s because parents of today are big pussies and are to scared to have their kid be independent. At the age of 10 little Johnny should be able to navigate thru his local hood and be able to make it home alright.
But regardless of the reasons you walk with your children I hope we all have a safe and happy haunted night!
