As deranged as this felt, it was pretty effective at keeping us cool while we searched high and low for that sweet scarce candy
I remember the silliest Halloween we ever had as a family. It was not because of particularly deranged costumes. it was not because someone spiked the punch, but just kidding, we were not allowed to drink as youngsters anyway; No, even as a child, I could think it as the silliest Halloween we ever had because of the way that we went trick-or-treating. You see, this was a single of the hottest Halloweens on record for our area; Summer had not quite gotten the memo that it needed to cease and desist, even this late into Fall. When we began our trick or treating escapades at at 6 p.m., it was 75° even outside! Not to mention that humidity was genuinely high. The deranged section was that our parents decided to drive us around the town so that we can have the benefit of the car’s cooling system machine as we trick or treated, then every one of us even had a couple of our next door neighbor friends join in, as their parents were particularly ecstatic to have their children supervised while I was in their trick or treating. As deranged as this felt, it was pretty effective at keeping us cool while we searched high and low for that sweet scarce candy. I could tell some of the other youngsters running around in the heat were pretty jealous that we had a vehicle with air conditioner to enjoy. Every one of us didn’t feel we were particularly special but our parents our surely did. They were not about to let their dear children overheat that evening!
