For Halloween this year, I imagine a lot of little girls
will be dressed as Elsa from Frozen and other favorite characters, and little
boys will be Ninja Turtles or some other crime-fighting hero. What does my
eight-year-old want to dress as? Not Ironman, nor a cowboy, nor a skeleton.
This year, Michael is going as a pizza delivery guy. The
idea came about during a conversation he was having with his grandpa, and
Michael became excited about the prospect. He said he plans to ring the
doorbells and instead of saying, “Trick-or-Treat,” he will say, “Pizza Guy!”
As I’m writing this, I’m on the hunt for a uniform for him
to wear, along with an empty pizza box he can carry. He anticipates people
putting the candy in the pizza box instead of a bag, for the full effect. I’m
excited to see how it works out for him, and I’ll be sure to include a picture
next week.
He mentioned it would be cool if he could give every house a
pizza, and I told him that would just get too expensive, as the return on the
investment wouldn’t be that great. He also informed me that I’ll need to be
close by with a bag to dump his candy in, as it might get awkward carrying a
heavy box around all night.
I’m excited for my son this year, because Halloween is on a
Friday night. Which means, he can stay out a bit later than he’s been able to
do in the past. He’s excited to make people laugh, and there’s no greater joy
in life than laughing with people. Happy Halloween!
