On Halloween night I put “Jaws” on my DVD player (I got the DVD from Grasshopper No.1) and watched during “trick or treat” hours. Jaws is one of my favorite movies. The main character has large jaws and big teeth.
I couldn’t escape the comparison. On Halloween night tiny vampires, goblins and witches roam the neighborhood like sinister sharks. They in fact are “little jaws” and prey on unsuspecting households. Like sharks, the “trick or treaters” travel in packs and ravage large amounts of candy. My perfect revenge would be that the little darlings all get upset stomachs and rotten teeth.
We encountered over 60 “little jaws” all with paper bags, plastic pumpkins with straps and cloth bags. Some costumes were cute. Some did little to disguise they were simply out for the candy.
Like migrating large sharks, the little critters will be back next year looking for another handout. I will know them by their sheepish smiles and bad teeth.
We wonder why our children are obese!
We had lots of candy left over which I put in a plastic bag and threw in the garbage. The problem is that people in our household (yes, I’m guilty) have been known to go into the large garbage cannister outside and pull out the wrapped candy. As most of your know, we have had mice in the basement. As of this date, I’ve trapped 5 mice. I disposed of the mice in the same bag as the wrapped candy. It is the ultimate way to remove temptation to eat candy because it is protected by dead mice. Candy anyone?
