Halloween Time pg.2
When, I was a little kid, doing “Halloween,” all I knew was a couple of minutes I saw in the “Halloween” scene , in the movie – “Meet Me in St.Louis” and “Margaret O’Brien,”throwing a handful of flour at an old “Grump of a Man” and running as fast as she could! Well, I was too scared to ring someone’s door bell, and throw anything!
My other heavy -duty equipment – a bar of “Soap” – forget me writing on windows – doors were out, too – someone could possibly open the door – grab me – and run me home in a case of fright, after a hard hand swat to my rear-end! Corporal Punishment for me – since I was the oldest and should know better – received my fair share as I received the blame when my younger brothers did something they should not have. I had to learn early – do not get in trouble, keep my brothers safe and out of harm’s way or pay the hard way – where it hurts!
So, as followers of the neighbor kids, we were too short to use a bar of soap to write on the automobile windows, we mostly – just watch the bigger kids – doing dumb stuff – and they were thinking they were having a whole lot of fun!
The “night” was not over – we went home and turned in our “weapons” and ….. we were told …. that we could do something …. bigger and better
