I remember the silliest Halloween the two of us ever had as a family.
It was not because of certainly deranged costumes.
it was not because someone spiked the punch, then just kidding, the two of us weren’t allowed to drink as kids anyway, and no, even as a child, I could know it as the silliest Halloween the two of us ever had because of the way that the two of us went trick-or-treating. You see, this was 1 of the hottest Halloweens on record for our area, but summer hadn’t quite gotten the memo that it needed to cease and desist, even this late into Fall. When the two of us began our trick or treating escapades at at 6 p.m., it was 71° even outside! Not to mention that humidity was legitimately high. The deranged area was that our parents decided to drive us around the town so that the two of us can have the benefit of the car’s air conditioner component as the two of us trick or treated. The people I was with and I even had a couple of our next door buddy friends join in, as their parents were certainly ecstatic to have their children supervised during their trick or treating. As deranged as this felt, it was pretty effective at keeping us cool while the two of us searched high and low for that sweet rare candy. I could tell some of the other kids running around in the heat were pretty jealous that the two of us had a car with air conditioner to enjoy. The people I was with and I didn’t know the two of us were certainly special however our parents our surely did. They weren’t about to let their dear children overheat that night!
