Halloween Questions

                The best Halloween costume I ever wore was a Jacob Marley costume from Scrooge It was my favorite by far, even though I had to tell most people who I was. A couple people guessed it right away though. I made it with my mom and grandma, so that’s probably why I’m still so fond of it. I went all out with chains and everything. I definitely got a workout that night walking around with ten pounds of chain wrapped around me.

                My favorite Halloween was the time I went to a haunted corn maze with my gymnastics team, and my brother. It was a blast! I was absolutely terrified, but I’ll admit, I’m a bit of an adrenaline junkie and it definitely got my heart pumping.  I also went trick or treating that year with my best friend at the time. We had a ton of fun, and I will always remember that Halloween.

                My favorite Halloween treat is chocolate, and lots of it! Who doesn’t love candy? It’s the one time a year you can eat as much candy as you want and not feel bad about it. Although, the best treat I ever received was from a dentist who lived in my neighborhood. I got a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a pack of gum. At the time, I was thoroughly disappointed that it wasn’t candy, but now looking back on it, it probably saved me from a cavity or two, and a frightening time in the dentist’s chair.

                I have had a lot of Halloween costumes throughout the years, and here is a list of the ones I can remember:

                -Teddy bear

                -Princess

                -Angel

                -unicorn

                -50s girl

                -Olympic Gymnast

                -Jacob Marley

                -Kate plus 8 (from reality show Jon & Kate plus 8)

                -Samurai

As I looked at the Jack-o-Lantern, It seemed to be looking back at me, and then the front door opened. A scary, bloody face stared back at me. I was frozen with fear, and I could hear my dad at the end of the driveway laughing as I stood completely still. Why was he laughing? I was standing on a stranger’s porch obviously fearing for my laugh and he was cracking up. The red and cut up face reached out log arm with a piece of candy. I stared at it for a while contemplating whether I should take candy from this creepy creature. I decided it wasn’t worth it. I didn’t want to touch those atrocious pruned fingers.  I turned quickly and ran straight into my dad’s arms. Although, he seemed more concerned with catching his breath from laughing too hard than he was with comforting me.
