Dear Readers,
Look
at your calendars closely. What do
you see? Yes, indeed, today is the first of October. Which
means that you have exactly 30 days to come up with your
Halloween costume. This is not something to be taken lightly,
Dear Readers, no siree! In fact, much conversation on the subject
matter has been taking place here at our little house of horrors and I have come up
with the perfect themed concept for this year’s costumes. An idea
so wonderfully brilliant that I do believe I’ve outdone even last year’s
hilarity. "What could it be?" you ask. . . Well, let me tell
you… YEARS will be spent in purgatory for this!
Wait for it. . .
We
are going as the Holy Trinity! IZ will be God the Father, Boy
Wonder will be God the Son, and I am going as God the Holy Ghost.
I
know! C’est parfait, non? Although there has been quite a
debate over which "nature" of Christ Boy Wonder should take
on. I say he should go trick-or-treating as the Human Christ after
Mel Gibson’s "Passion." Iz, on the other hand, thinks he should
be a South Park version of Jesus, handing out candy with a pithy little
blessing, "A piece of Christ be with you." (sic) If only we could
find a way to have two natures in one person. . . hmmm.
Anyhow, now it’s your turn. I do hope you are all working
diligently on your costumes. Remember, Dear Readers, that it
isn’t Halloween unless we make at least one eleven year old cry like a
baby and go running home to his mother. Trick or Treat.
Happy Haunting,
Wende
