Friday Five
1. What was your first Halloween costume?
I think my Mom had me dressed up as a skeleton (which wasn’t much of a stretch in those days!)
2. What was your best costume and why?
My best costume was a big YELLOW CHICKEN. I dressed up as a chicken my first year at this job, and had a hoot!!! None of the kids knew it was me, as we told them I went home sick…..all the little “cats” were chasing me, I was dancing and acting like an ass…….something you can do when you’re in disguise!
3. Did you ever play a trick on someone who didn’t give you a treat?
Oh yeah….as kids growing up on the farm, we moved a stack of bales right in front of the front door of some stingy folks!
4. Do you have any Halloween traditions? (ie: Family pumpkin carving, special dinner before trick or treating, etc.)
No time for traditions around here. We’ve always done the jack-o-lantern thing, but that’s it. It’s not a big deal around here.
5. Share your favorite scary story…real or legend!
I don’t really have one, but the one thing I remember the most about Halloween as a kid, was my Dad hiding out in the trees by the lane, waiting patiently for his hockey team (teen boys) to show up late every year to play tricks. Most years he’d scare the shit out of them!!! Was a real hoot! Dad was always up for a good prank!
