Halloween and the election are really close. People will hardly have time to take off their scary costumes before entering the voting booths. It is unclear as to what will be the most frightening, the scary costumes or the candidates. The outcome of the election will be the scariest because after the election the candidates will take their costumes off. Currently, we aren’t totally sure who they really are. We know what they say and what the opposition says but we won’t really know them until a year or two later.
Halloween costumes conceal a lot. A mask covers the face and an outfit can make you think someone is a monster or an angel. That is one of the reasons Halloween is so much fun. The children can become their favorite character or make up a character. The children try to be scary, funny or a super hero. The fun is dressing up and going out. The goodies received from generous households are cool but the adventures lie in dressing up and going out.
My first stop was always at my Grandparent’s store for a free candy bar. Of course, they always knew me but pretended they didn’t and mad a big deal about my Halloween garb. That was the fun part.
