My holiday cheer…
With no parties to go to. With no pumpkin to carve. My 31st consisted of a nap after work, then at 6:00pm I thought… well damn, I may be home alone but I'm going to have some Halloween fun.
All the last minute candy shoppers must have been more punctual than me, all that was left at the store was the nasty hard gum and Dum-Dums. I went for the Dum-Dums and a child sized witch hat (it was all they had left for impromptu costumes, and no it did not fit my head).
Despite the 25 degree weather, I set out to lure some kids I don't know up to my door step for candy. Apparently, the candles at the end of the sidewalk weren't a clear indication that there were free goodies. After an hour sitting on my cold, cement stoop, my candy bowl was reduced by 9 suckers. The four old ass kids that showed up dressed as teenagers in Minnesota's cold weather carried plastic grocery bags and got two pieces each. The ninth sucker fell out of its wrapper, so I threw that one away.
So my question to you is …. I have 161 suckers, want some??
