  Writing - Halloween 2003
   
 

Even before the party up my road at Bill and Victor's, I did something rather amusing. I like cheap entertainment, and this was just too much of an opportunity NOT to give up.

If you are all familar, I have a dog costume. A very cute and harmless looking costume, which looks like a stuffed animal when I'm not moving. So, I sat on my front porch with a bowl of candy (for a while I kneeled, and then I got a chair). I sat very still with one hand holding the bowl, and one above it.

Occationally kids would come over. Whoever put their hand in the bowl I would then touch (not grab) their hand. Oh man, I've never seen kids scream this loud aside visiting the doctor.

Two young boys who looked about eight or nine years old kept pushing each other and debating on if I was a "person in a costume" or a statue. Because I was behind hedges, parents pushing strollers thought I was just a Halloween decoration. After watching them do this for a minute or two, I hunched forward, which made them both scream and job back. People laughed, and I gave out candy.

Well, my mom came home later, and laughed after 30 seconds later I was sitting right next to the door. She laughed and I told her to wait around. Not a moment later after she went to take the garbage out, she heard screaming.
