Sure -- I understand your point of view. But I would humbly submit that if you send your children to the doors of strangers, they will, at some point, meet some strange people.
Yeah, about every third or fourth house!

<snipped> I still chuckle when I recall Mom's expression and hesitant response when I asked her what "Tuscan virgin" meant in the description of my patron saint's name
Did she tell you to go as a bottle of olive oil? :innocent:

Let's TP her house. :floorlaugh:
Kidding. :innocent:
I was thinking more along the lines of a Molotov Cocktail :angel:
I braved the rain and wind to venture out for my allergy shot and a trip to the market. DH and my allergy/asthma specialist has a lot of pediatric/adolescent patients, so she and her staff always wear costumes on Halloween. When they were open on Saturdays for a while, they had occasional "pajama days" that kids really enjoyed.
I told Dr. R today that her costume was by far the :scared: that she'd ever worn: She was dressed as a Chef. This is absolutely hilarious because she doesn't cook! I recalled a conversation about her lack of kitchen savvy some years ago, and she :lol:
I'm wearing a Halloween tee-shirt that was a gift from a "musical" friend. It says on the front: Know what Mozart is doing this Halloween? The back reads: Decomposing.
That sounds cruel. Indulging a bit on Halloween doesn't make anyone obese and this sort of letter may be harmful to people with self-image issues or eating disorders. If she's so worried about obesity rates among children there are other, more constructive things she can do to help.
I hope no one does a thing. I hope that she gets nothing but silence out of this. The more people acknowledge this, the more she wins.
