Halloween on the Hill

Eight bags of candy in an hour. Whoosh. Lots of superheroes, vaguely "scary guys" (black robes and fright masks), fairy princesses, pre-teens raiding their older sisters' closets. Scariest costume? A constitutional amendment to permit George W. Bush to sit for a third term as president. Best costume? Giant box of movie popcorn, complete with red-and-white striped bag and yellow balloons all over as the popcorn. My costume? I thought I had none, but a small, tow-headed crimefighter implied that I "look just like Joseph's mom." So I went for Halloween as Joseph's mom.

Overheard on Halloween:

Cruella de Ville (not kidding), talking to her friend the mad scientist:

"Oh, you're cold? I might lend you my coat...if you weren't covered in blood!"

And the saddest little ninja:

"Happy Halloween! I'm allergic to peanuts!"
