|| = || __ BEWARE BEWARE!
It’s Hallowe’en. That means all the ghosts and goblins will be creeping around the neighbourhood tonight.
These are our best tips for handling this event:
Make sure your scary-sourus is wearing colours that are bright and easy to see.
Check that their outterwear isn’t so long it might cause a tripping problem. It may be hard to believe but ghosts sometimes have to travel quickly - and then fall on their faces. When that happens, they get unhappy. That causes some very scary problems.
Remind the burglers to check before crossing the street. There could be a car coming or going. Cars don’t have eyes, so they might not see you. And it wouldn’t be very much fun to get schmucked. It’s not anything like eating chocolate.
If you are the driver, go slow. There may be creepy crawlers running out in front of you. They get excited when let out of their dark spaces. Hitting one of them would be a nightmare forever.
Only visit homes with spooky lights and decorations. If everything is dark, don’t bother going there - though you can cast a spell.
Never go inside the home of someone you don’t know - even if a grownup (who is not Mom or Dad) is inviting you. Remember, not all big people are good people.
Use only the proper sidewalks rather than running through yards. Going off path causes the dragons to wake up and start breathing fire. You don’t want to get grilled for hallowe’en!
Make sure your kiddies don’t eat any candies until an inspection has been done. Mom or Dad should look for things that have been rewrapped or changed in some way from proper gobblin’g standard. Yes, there really are creepy people out there.
Watch for witches flying overhead!
And most of all …
H.A.V.E A S.P.O.O.K.T.A.C.U.L.A.R evening!
