halloween

I used to love Halloween as a kid even though I never really had
too many "fun Halloweens"
My childhood was far from enjoyable

my Halloween plans for some reason would always be ruined
for instance...
I would have plans to go out for with my friend Angela who
lived up the street and ten minutes before we were supposed to leave
her father would ground her for 3 weeks for no apparent reason...
yeah... she didn't have an enjoyable childhood either

We lived in a neighborhood were the houses were far apart
you would get out of breathe going from house to house so my
mother would drive us... or she would make me go
with some other kids that I didn't even like just because
she knew their mother...
god that sucked

I remember I always wanted to dress up as a devil or a pirate
hahaha

but when I was really young the costumes
looked looked this...

I remember standing in the store
staring at all of the boxes
unable to decide what plastic mask I wanted to be
such a difficult decision - so many choices

Which brings us to another episode of "What WERE they thinking?"

Remember HOW HOT THESE THINGS GOT!
You can breathe in it until sweat forms on your face and
gives you a nice itchy rash. When the fun of that wears off, you nearly
cut your tongue off by sticking it through the tiny slit for a
breathing hole they give you.

You wanted so much to keep the mask on
but you would get to the point where your face starts melting
and you have no choice but to prop it up on the top of your head
the cool air would hit your face and it would feel so good

Tons of fun would be had by all with this vinyl hot box.
Not only can you not see or breathe, but you can't hear either with
the swish swashing of those fucking vinyl pants.

Ahhh Memories

I wish I had kept those old costumes
worth big bucks these days!

Nowadays I shut the lights off on Halloween
because neither I nor my husband can get our lazy asses
off the couch to answer the door... Is that wrong?
