It's Halloween! ( here, have a picture of me when I was young )
My personal favorite costume was when I was a teen. I took a large box, glued on some fabric as a table-cloth, then cut a hole in the top and glued on a cigar box that also had a hole in the bottom. Then I could put on the box and slide my hand through the hole, coming out the cigar box, rather like "Thing" on The Addams Family, but holding a treat bag. So the big box looked like a table with a cigar box perched on it. And why was I motivated to go to such lengths? Because I wanted candy, darn it, and I didn't want people to say I was too old to go trick-or-treating. I crouched down after I rang the doorbells. At least I had younger siblings with me, so maybe it didn't look completely ridiculous.
I don't have a problem with teens going trick-or-treating, as long as they have a costume. *grins*
( quick random thought about scary movies )
Trick-or-treat!
