Drabble by Kevin Fagan for October 31, 2024

You really ought to be more careful..    who you marry, Ralph

We didn’t see Drabble candy shopping this year

You snatched his private stash…well done!

What a sweet kid.

Said no kid ever.

I hope them ain’t pumpkin spice pumpkins.

Happy Halloween Everybody!

A good little witch!

Thanks anyway, Honey, but nobody likes those candy pumpkins, except maybe Ralph.

Keeping the best for himself…..

One Halloween, many years ago, I was assigned to patrol division and working nights. I got a complaint that some older kids had robbed a younger kid of his candy. The younger kid was menaced with a “stick” and told he would be hit with it. I had no sooner finished interviewing the young victim than I got another report of it happening again. The common threads in the description were a “stick” and orange glow in the dark paint on the masks. It didn’t take me long to find them, glow in the dark paint and the sick.

Long story short, I located the two juvenile knuckleheads and arrested them for armed robbery. The stick turned out to be a 3/4 inch piece of rebar stolen from a construction site. The parents of the two knuckleheads, tried to blame me for it, then told me that stealing another kids candy with a weapon and threats to hit them wasn’t a crime and that boys would be boys.

The pain wound up going to court and losing. One had been arrested a couple of times previously and was sent to juvenile detention for 12 months. The other kid was placed on probation.

The one who went to jail didn’t learn his lesson and was killed hone he tried to do it again in a nearby town. He learned that rancher’s don’t play.

surprise surprise! i give out chocolate covered brussel sprouts!!! surprise surprise!! brush well before you go to beddie bye! (heh heh heh!!)

Aw… what a sweetheart…give her the whole bag!

Best kind of kid ever. I bet she has a Dew Drop watching over her.

Busted! Ralph,you should try Honeybunch’s diet

And tomorrow, June will start decorating for Christmas.

How will he manage to get to work tomorrow?

There she goes, invading his privacy again. If he’d wanted to use those, he would have. Those were for personal consumption. Miserable woman even looks evil in this one.
