A Halloween Story by Lia Louise

* * *

Lia: I'll narate.

Zoe: Fine.

Lia: Ok: Every halloween Aunti Meliss and Aunti Autumn come over to hand out candy to little kids dressed up silly.

Zoe: hhho boy...

Lia: And the Aunti's bring punkins - whatever they're for...

Lia: for some reason, they spend alot of time putting candles inside the punkin to make it light.

Zoe: ...sigh...

Lia: Then comes the HALLOWEEN PARADE: This dude is a bee - I had to bark at him cuz it's so silly - a dog can't be a bee!
.

Zoe: Why don't you just stop and show the pictures?
.

Lia: No - this needs a story teller...


Lia: Then - the kid parade - but sometimes the big people are dressed up sillier than the kids.


...and when the kids reach the porch they say 'trick or treat' so that Mom or Aunti's will put candy in their buckets. Sometimes, their parents will say 'what do you say'? and the kids says 'thank you'. Too much rehersing. Just walk up to the human...take your treat and run. Silly humans.
.

Zoe: You're NOT just telling the story - you're injecting your opinion, which is totally not needed.

Lia: Then there's little girls dressed like this and Mommy and Auntie's start giggling and take their picture. I think her white gloves are scarey. I think Michael Jackson is scarey.

.

Zoe: OMG!!!!

Lia: THEN - Kinsey can't stand it anymore and wants to see what's going on outside. Now, since he's a dog, one of two things is true of this picture: Either the window is at floor level as he's clearly looking out of the window - or - he's on top of the piano. Wanna guess?

Lia: By this time, Zoe can't take it anymore and wants to be with people - so Aunti Meliss rescues her...(traitor)...

Lia: ...and then...they run out of candy, everyone comes inside as they turn off the porchlight and the Auntie's let us play some reindeer games. The End.

Zoe: (...sometimes you just have to let her and her perception of the truth run with it...)
