Can I borrow a tornado and a falling house?
Here’s to the lady in our community who, on Halloween night, insisted on quizzing the good parents who personally brought their children to her door for Trick-or-Treating.
She asked each of them who they planned to vote for. If they answered “Obama”, she insisted that the children get away from her door, sans candy, but gifted all others with an abundance of treats.
Needless to say, the little ones were very upset.
Ahem.
Yeah, lady. It was your candy, your choice, of course. But here’s a heads-up for ya…
These were CHILDREN. They didn’t have any political affiliations, and if this particular memory lingers with them as they grow, it’s for damn sure the party they choose won’t be yours.
Now that’s off my chest—I’m blogging at the CHICAS site today. ;)
Somehow I missed your last post. We here in New Zealand are so very proud of you guys over there for your decision for change. As your new President Elect has said – “Fired up and ready to go.”
And blah!! to the woman who passes on her bigotry to children.
I wish I could say I am surprised, but I’ve heard some doozies the last few days and they’ve come from very close sources. Sigh.
Suzanne, I think most of the WORLD was celebrating this event! The news showed people all over the world, cheering.
It was a wonderful experience. :)
Jordan, all I can say is
I DON’T GET IT.
What is WRONG with these people?!
All I can say if it’s a good thing none of the adults in the neighborhood I grew up in tried that when the kids I grew up with were all of an age to Trick or Treat, cause we were all a very imaginative lot, and no treats would definitely have gotten them a surfeit of tricks. :)
I was considering a barrage of eggs myself, Ann—and I’m no kid. ;)
