Last year I wore a
pillow case with eye holes . I was excited to be a ghost because I knew no one
would know who I was and we could scare every body on the street. Turned out
there were a lotta ghosts out there, nobody knew who anybody was. Except
me! Everybody knew me.
What a drag.
For some reason, They
all said “Hello Libby.” The minute they saw me. I still don’t know how they were able to tell.
So this year I
thought I would be a skeleton, or a bee, or a devil. When trick or treat time came, Mrs Stillman
put me in the skeleton outfit. So that’s
what I decided to be.
Every other minute
a princess and a cat came to the
door. Giant cats! Some were even bigger than the princesses. I was scared stiff!
Luckily I had my skeleton outfit on , so all
the cats thought I was dead.
I got
through the night without a scratch.
And what did our
brave cat Memee do?. He hid behind the chair and wouldn't come out.
All the princesses
knew I was alive though. “Ooh look! A poodle!”
They all wanted to
pet me. The tiny ones were a little scared at first, but once they felt how
soft I was, they loved me! That part was nice.
Manny (Mr. Manny
A. Mouse) watched the whole thing from the basement window. He had his kids dressed up as a cheese tray.
Bobby was american. Erica Sue was swiss. Cynthia was muenster. And Brie was brie. But she was hiding out on the water heater. So
i didn’t see her. Memee said they looked good enough to eat. But, Manny didn’t
think that was very funny.
I
gave the kids some M&Ms that I had deftly removed from the candy
bag..
I couldn’t have eaten them anyway
because chocolate kills dogs**. I hate
giving up candy, even M&Ms , but the kids looked so happy that I was cool with it.
As I was going back upstairs I saw them trading
colors.
“But you have a red!”
“No that’s magenta.”
“What’s magenta?”
“It’s this silly”
“Well then you
have a magenta,
I want the red.”
And so on.
I gotta go now.
I’ve been up for 45 minutes and I need a nap.!

Libby,
I would have never guessed that that was you in the skeleton costume.
I got to thinking maybe next year you could dress as a cat, then I changed my mind because that would be embarrassing for you. Sorry for the thought.
Had fun reading your story so keep it up. You friend, Pal
Libby - I am glad you have a sense of humor. It must really come in handy living with Mrs Stillman, haha.
THank you Hank and Gerry for leaving such nice comments. Gerry I will tell Mrs Stillman what nice things you say about her.
