Pumpkins scream in the dead of night.
This year for Halloween the family headed to the Lipsett's house for their annual semi-circle Trick Or Treat party. Their neighborhood has so many trick o' treaters that they sit out on their front lawn and hand out candy to the hundreds. Big or small, demon or teletubby (wait... are those the same thing) the entire neighborhood does this and it's crazy fun. With those kind of conditions it was perfect to take the boys out for their first trick-or-treating experience. Ethan (aka Boba Fett) couldn't get enough of it. Like Seinfeld's standup routine about Halloween as a kid, Ethan's brain was not able to comprehend the idea that everyone was just giving out candy. What fools, to so stupidly just be giving it away. Ethan and his Dad were houses ahead of us as we trekked through the gloom.
Josh (aka Batman) was a little too enthused at first. Our first house: Ding Dong. They opened the door, and no sooner had the door opened a Josh sized crack, and boom Batman was in the house and headed to the living room. He was ready to party. We finally got him out with the promise of more candy. He followed rather reluctantly, but pretty quickly came to understand a threshold.
