Gotta be cool or today's cool!

Today's cool meaning what day"it is".

Today is Halloween. OK. Forget the gotta look cool for school.

This is the day that you gotta look ugly, stupid, mismatched or uncoordinated.

No "does this look good with that?" today.

More like "will you put your green eyeshadow on my face? Witches are green".

Another day of the week, we got to look great for school. Everything has to go together. The shirt has to match the pants, skirt or whatever. The whatever has to match the whatever.

The jacket has to be just so, as well.

So what is it about tonight that makes things different? How did Halloween start and who's idea was it to dress in costume? I would like to know.
Sure, I got the computer and could look it up, but, I want someone to tell me.

I used to do it. Yep. I love the candy. Don't think that I am not gonna hit Jenna's, it was my eyeshadow!! I applied it. I am sure I'll clean it off. That indirectly makes me part of this and I am entitled to candy. (tell my diet that)

But, now we as adults are faced with buying candy that we wouldn't normally buy to give to other peoples children. You know (admit it) you get the kind you like in case that there are leftovers. I do. I didn't get any this year however. Last year I had 1 child at the door and that does not constitute a bag of candy. Besides, Jenna went to a "pre-Halloween" event and she gave me her rejects just in case. (Pitiful isn't it)

But, just tell me how this started...

If it is so important, why isn't it a national holiday?

What about those sickos' that want to poison randomly any child that happens to get their Snickers bar. Or the little old lady putting arsenic in her "Famous home made Chocolate Chip Cookies" what about that side?

So, we as the responsible parent, dress our children up silly or scarey or just plain weird and send them out to psychopaths homes. Gee, nominate me for Mom of the year!

Actually, Jenna is going with the neighbor to churches and a nursing home. Some neighborhoods that he cousin knows. But, then again, "Who is that new couple in the neighborhood?"

Should I eat or at least take a bite of everything before Jenna eats it? Yep. She would love that. I think that she takes inventory when she gets home.

But, that is the way it is, that is the way it was and I suppose that is the way it is gonna be. Some things just don't change.

Me? I am dressed up as a Mom. Original, huh?
Til next time...

Just me
