Happy Halloween Month, Me Centered

Candy Soul on a Stick

Mom dressed my sibling and me like clowns and walked us to the neighbor's house.

Why?

Why not?

Also, Halloween was exactly on October 31, 1987.

My first Halloween.

Since it was my first, I still didn't know if what Mom said was true. Culty Unison, expecting good things contrary to clowns being shot and arrested, demanding, commotion.

But life was new.

It was filled with business you didn't understand, but you trusted your mother.

• If she told you to look both ways before crossing the road where you didn't have a car, you did.
• If she told you not to touch the eyes of the growling dog, you tried hard not to touch them. You made an effort.
• And if she told you to go crazy, take a bucket to the neighbor's house, knock, and shout at the neighbor, you did.
