I look more rad than Lutheranism

"It's much safer to go to the houses of families you know from church."

Oh, that makes sense. I was wondering how else kids would know you weren't members, and I was picturing some sort of mark on your fence like hobo marks, only to warn Mormons away from nonmembers.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I finally didn't bother this year. We're just so far out. We got more on the Navajo rez. And in between there we had the crazy right in the heart of it one million kids neighborhood.

Anyway, I spent Halloween running atound to four different stores to find dog toothpaste. But I'm home and relatively happy now.

You with the adult paper bag kids should have pulled the Primus trick - ice cube in the bag.

Because books.

My favorite was a threeish-year-old at the church thing the other night. I didn't recognize the costume, so I asked him who he was. He looked at me and said very clearly, "Sean." Well, all right then.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Just had two witches and a zombie girl who, when I answered the door, said "Oh. You looked like this last year."

I smiled and said "I look like this every day."

Watching the the neighbor lady is REALLY A VAMPIRE OMG thoughts go across their faces was great. I love Halloween!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

No stick drawing of a kitty for you!

and then after he got the candy "Have a nice day!!!" I could hear him saying it all up the street.

Baby Lauren (who is now 2) was saying, "Bless you!" to every person who sneezed or coughed in a restaurant today. Lots of "thank you" as well, but it was the random blessings to strangers that I found most charming.

Sometimes kids say the absolute best things.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I smiled and said "I look like this every day."

Ahahaha I love you.

He was actually Optimus Prime, Cass. Geek parents! I was ashamed I didn't know who he was. Or who he was dressed up as, I should say.

I smiled and said "I look like this every day."

When I told Sara that you dress that way every day, she was amazed and impressed. I could see the wheels spinning in her head, too, I have to say.

Crap. I took a double dose of the fake!sudafed instead of a single of the real. No wonder it isn't working. Feh.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

A man and woman came to my door with a baby in a stroller who was no more than a year old. The baby was dressed as Superman. I tried to hand the baby a piece of candy, and the father said no, that I should let the baby take it from the bowl. I tried holding the bowl out to the baby, but he seemed to have no interest in it, so I just gave him the candy, and the father looked very disappointed.
