Happy day after Halloween, jerks! I don’t know about you
all, but I had a great time last night. I wore my usual Henry Kissinger costume
and in lieu of candy, I attempted to engage all costumed children in spirited debates
regarding US – China relations. They still don’t get it! Smh. Anyway, I had to
run to the store for more seltzer during peak Trick or Treating time, so I left
a bowl of candy on my front stoop with a sign reading “Take one!” When I
returned, the candy and bowl were nowhere to be found and the sign had been
tweaked to read: “Fuck You!” What a turn of events! This year I tried something
a little different: I thought it would be nice to create a haunted house to
help heighten the kids’ experience. As it turns out, no one is frightened by oversized
photos of NPR Marketplace host, Kai Ryssdal. All in all, it was a great
Halloween, however. My favorite moment was when two teenagers arrived at my
doorstep sans costume, demanding candy. “What’s your costume – apathy?” I
remarked – an incredible zinger. “You’re a total dipshit” they shot back,
clawing at the candy bowl with their hungry teenage paws. A fair, level-headed
exchange that perfectly summed up my favorite night of the year!
