So....What Did You Do For Halloween?

Did you embrace your inner nerd?

To make your costume more believable, did you hike up your church pants until you were completely uncomfortable by the end of the night?

Did you carry nasal spray and a pocket pack of tissues in your pocket protector and tell people repeatedly, "*Sniff*... Mother made sure I had my, *sniffle*, *snort* tissues."?

Did you practice the catch phrase, "I vant to bite your neck." until everyone within in a three mile radius practically begged you to stop?


While your parents were putting your vampire makeup on you, did they fear you looked a lot more like Eddie Munster than Count Dracula, until you put your plastic fangs in?

Uh, Mike honey...I am noticing a gap between the hairline and the widow's peak...

Or...did you take a trip to Middle Earth and put Orlando Bloom to shame because you make a much more dashing Legolas from Lord of the Rings than he does?

To complete your Legolas look, did your mother buy a Hannah Montana wig for six bucks and chop the bangs off of it and try, almost in vain, to get it to do that cool braid ponytail flip thing in the back? Did she make the leaf clasp to close your cape out of paper laminated with contact paper and hot glue gunned to a diaper pin, and did you stare at her skeptically as she approached you to pin it on?


Did your mother make your wear your Anakin Skywalker outfit from last year under your cape because she is a cheapskate promised nobody would notice that it wasn't an official Legolas costume?

Did your mother not even bother to dress up and when people asked why, did she reply dryly, "I am a Super Model...can't you tell?" even though she was wearing the same nondescript clothing she always does?

No?
Well, we had a fun Halloween and hope that you did, too.
