For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for October 31, 2019

mm-hmm

Dawn may be complaining about how she still fits into the same clown costume for 3 years, but she has nothing on Elizabeth, who is wearing the same Bo Peep shepherdess costume for 9 years. Check it out:

Tonight is the night to shut off all the lights and hide from the little monsters.

And to gorge on candy and get stomach aches.

I recall a Halloween (1987). We had no garage and parked on the street, in front of the house. We provided treats during the city- sanctioned hours but the next morning discovered (eventually EX) hubby’s dark brown pick up had been egged. Not so my white station wagon. Apparently, someone knew more about him than I did, and was making a statement. I still laugh at the memory!

I loaded up with sugar loaded fat pills to pass out to the assorted zombies and unicorns I expect will be invading my neighborhood tonight. It is sort of nice to see the next generation.

Wish I got trick or treaters at my apartment complex. If I do this year it would be a first.

This is mostly a retirement community – we get fewer than a dozen children on the most active Halloween nights. I always disliked manning the door and this time my wife is out of town, so our house will be dark and undecorated this year.

And the rest of the year we put our masks on.

When I was a kid, I liked Halloween better than Christmas. For several reasons.

Actually Hallowe’en is where you can be something your not.

This was the time where Michael got his new name of “Avacadohead”.

Nice costumes.“I’m not scared of humans dressed as monsters, but of monsters dressed as humans.”
