All Hallow's Eve...er...Eve...

Hey guys.

I made a post two years ago asking what everyone's earliest Halloween memory was, and got some fun responses, so I thought I'd do it again.

You could substutute 'favourite' or 'worst' for 'earliest' if you'd like.

My earliest memory is on the post I made two years ago. My worst was probably the year I got sick. I forget how old I was, 10 or 11, maybe younger and I was really sick. It was one of those illness that just sap your energy, but I really wanted to go out. I remember putting a costume together - a dress and a hat or something, and I made it about halfway down the block before having to give in and go home. I was so sad, and my mom was very sympathetic.

So, what about you flist?

I remember very fondly my grandmother wearing my Bugs Bunny mask to hand out treats. It's something she totally would do, and something my mother would never in a million years do. I've always been happy when I remember that.

Another year my mom and I decided to see what would happen if we knocked on the door of the VFW next door. I got gleefully pulled in and fussed over by a room full of semi-drunken ex-soldiers and their lady friends, and everyone there gave me a handful of change (a big handful too!) The next year I tried it again, but the door guy wouldn't let us in. :(

One not-so-pleasant memory was the year I found my skeleton costume sometime when it was nowhere near halloween, and I thought it would be funny to scare my grandmother with it, so I put it on and I actually did scare her. She didn't fall over or get hurt or anything, but I do still feel kinda bad about that. I didn't mean to scare-scare her, just startle her a little bit.
