Every holiday is Christmas to a certain kid
Marlo has been talking about Halloween almost as much as she talks about her birthday. Once a day she’ll mention that her birthday is next week, and while that’s adorable at some point you kind of have to wonder if she’s just being hopeful or has no concept whatsoever as to how time works. Because every time I tell her, no, it’s not until next June she says, “Right. That’s next week.”
Halloween decorations have been going up all over the neighborhood, and she shrieks with delight every time we pass a house with a ghost or a witch in the front yard. I don’t normally decorate the house for Halloween or for the change of seasons, but I’m going to indulge her this year. We went shopping for pumpkins over the weekend which is a good place to start, but then I decided to look for things that aren’t super cheesy or gaudy. I might even break out a box of cake mix, bake some cupcakes and accidentally set the house on fire let her go to town with some edible Halloween-themed toppers. Because ghosts and corpses and women stressed as slutty vampires deserve to be celebrated!
