It's not being teenagers per se that irritates me. It's being teenagers with no costumers who grab teen-sized handfuls.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Because books.

I drop candy into the bags, I don't offer the bowl. That way lies having to buy too much candy, and/or not having any left over.
I closed the door and shut off the porch light. It's 6 to 8 here, so I feel justified. And I'm tired now. The kids are picking through their loot and I'm practically ready for bed.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The middle-schoolers seem to have the best costumes around here. Just had three girls in home-made Incredibles costumes--the fourth member of their group was dressed as Batgirl.

It's just getting dark here, I haven't heard any activity out on the streets. Hubby's up front to do candy duty. I've put together a small candle circle. A small chair from a miniature house setup is in the middle of it, for the comfort of whatever spirits care to visit.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Aww, man, the Pandora Halloween station I'm listening to just threw the BtVS theme at me! Kinda sniffly now!

For Jilli and Pete: I'm sure you get this every Halloween, so this year I'm (probably one of many) linking you to this: [link] . It is the Joan Osborne version though.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I've only gotten a few Trick or Treaters, despite having an Official Orange Balloon. I watched Conversations With Dead People and opened mail; discovered a disconnect notice and paid my power bill. I have more bills I need to pay but now I'm depressed and tired and want to go to bed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I kinda can't believe that Laura Bush and Colin Powell appeared on the same ticket as a guy who pretty much has to be a teach-you-how-to-spam guy, an aggressive stock instructor, and someone who teaches you how to flip trailer parks. Joe Montana gave a speech that was unintelligible to me, and despite having a speech impediment, Lou Holtz was much clearer, and perhaps the most on point and charming person on the ticket.
Laura was just there because of her husband. She's no speaker.
I forgot how much I wanted Kalinda's clothes.
