The Dreaded Annual Halloween Kilt Thread - 2009

[Strings]

My favorite Halloween memory had nothing to do with religion or costumes.

I was handing out candy, and it was fairly warm. At the time, we had a common boa (named Issa), who would curl happily around my neck and watch what was going on*.

One family came to the door (mother, 2 small children, and gran'ma down by the walk). Mom looked on as I knelt by her children to let them pick their treats, and suddenly saw what I was "wearing"... and promptly teleported down the block (leaving her children behind)...

Gran'ma actually ran into Spoon a few days later, and recognized her. She was STILL giggling about how her daughter "abandoned ship" when she saw the snake!


* To keep things somewhat on topic, said snake would also frequently try to crawl UNDER my kilt (but never tried exploring Spoon's neckline). Snake was either female or gay, we never did figure out which.

When we lived in San Jose, it would take a full weekend to get the house ready for the trick-or-treaters. We would turn the front of the house into a cave replete with bats, spiders, and ground fog. I dressed up as George Washington one year and asked the kids to tell me who I was before they could have any candy. Had a lot of entertaining answers and even a few were correct.

A few years back I volunteered with a local national park branch here in Ohio, teaching kids about snakes, reptiles and other like critters. We had a snake who was QUITE fond of crawling down my leg when I wasn't paying attention and then coming up inside my kilt.

One learned to be ... careful.
