One year when I was too old to go out trick-or-treating, I was assigned door duty. My dad took Auntie out and left my mother and me to our own devices. He should have known we'd be up to no good. We had a really ugly witch mask that I'd used for the Halloween football game earlier in the week. (I was in the band and we were really into all this craziness!) My mom and I were chatting about how I should answer the door in the mask. I, of course, had to take it one step further. I told my mom that I should sit outside and wait for the kids with the mask on... My mother took that little tidbit and ran with it. She got a black rocking chair from the living room. She got me a ton of blankets, a black hooded thing worn by Saudi women (the name eludes me just now), and a walkie talkie. She dressed me up and set me on the porch. She stood in the bathroom (in the dark in the window just over my shoulder) and chatted with me on the walkie talkie.  The first kid came up the driveway and she hissed "Don't move!" I froze. The kid got almost to the door (he had passed me and thought I was a dummy) and my mother hissed "NOW!" I rocked ever so slowly. The kid freaked! The parent in the driveway howled with laughter - thank God!! I had to practically undress to convince the kid it was me. We did this over and over. We got really good at it... We were very sweet to the little kids, though... anyone over the age of 6 got the full treatment!! We even did it to my sister... hehehe Mom and I had so much fun that night!! LadyBug PS - a few weeks ago, I wrote a Monday Memory about getting the beater stuck in my hair. I have been looking for the picture and I found it!!!  Attractive, aren't I... That's cream cheese goo all over my face, clothes and hair... LB Links to other Monday Memories |

Oh that's great - I remember being scared by people like you when I was little and trick r' treating! ha ha. I love that picture of you with the beater in your hair - I hope you got it out without cutting off your gorgeous hair!
What a cutie you were (not as a witch) btw....it would have been priceless to have tape of that...you could have been a ten thousand dollar winner in America's Funniest Videos! It was worth a trip back here~
I came here from your comment on Norma's MM about the Library books. We've had at least 2 that we returned not show up in the system as returned...only to find them right on the shelves where they belonged. We've also tried to check out some books that weren't checked in for other people.
I've got my monday memory up too.
