Halloween

Life is full of tough decisions. Like, what were we going to do with a big, beautiful pumpkin brought home from the store Halloween day? Scary jack-o-lantern or pretty princess?

These decisions are difficult as our home is one of extreme opposites. Either you love lip gloss, Sleeping Beauty, and dancing class in the living room, or you do not. You love video games, skateboarding, and trying to burp, or you do not.

While we support one another, we are two different teams that very rarely defect to the other's side.
So there was sure to be a face-off with the appearance of the pumpkin. It would be be two dainty tinkerbells and a darling black cat staring down the eyes of a menacing Death Eater who, if defeated, was prepared to threaten the peace of muggle and magic world alike.

Thankfully a team captain stepped in and the pumpkin became a truly hideous double-faced creature. On one side, a gory jack-o-lantern with gashes and wounds and terrible teeth. On the other, a beautiful princess with voluptuous lips and a tiara.

Two teams victorious! Could it be that easy?

Mom, which face will point outwards to greet the trick-or-treaters?

Tips for next year: 1)each team captain must provide their own pumpkin; 2) remember to brush teeth before the movie.
