The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for October 16, 2015

The chances of that candy making it to the weekend, let alone Halloween, is slim to none.

AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

For once, Burl is right on the money.

I’ll given ‘em this. When it comes to food, they’re unashamed gluttons, without an once of pretense otherwise and will demand a “doggy bag” at the Platinum Piggy buffet and look the manager in the eye while they tell him it’s because they have the trots and can’t stay to clean their plates. .They are, however, also outrageously self righteous and think themselves superior because they aren’t subject to such foolishness as pretending that the basket load of candy is for the kids. They frankly turn the lights out at dusk on Halloween and pretend not to be home and beat it over to the Dollar Dillo store the next day to load up on post-Halloween mark-downs.

I have to start buying candy early (400 trick or treaters last year) so I try to buy stuff I don’t like. I could snack on it as easily as Ma, I bet!

Notice that Ma did hot ask Joy for her opinion…. Is Charlotte a new friend…Havn’ t seen her before…! ? !
