Growing Up
The Grown Son was lamenting the unfairness of growing up.
Why can’t adults go Trick-or-Treating?
I suggested that he go to the store and buy his own candy.
Apparently that was a terrible idea.
He suggested that since I am petite, I could put on a costume and go trick-or-treating for him.
I could dress up like a child dressing up like a crazy old woman.
He assured me it would be totally believable.
I burst out laughing.
His father had the exact same idea many, many years ago.
I was 14.
Too old for Trick-or-Treating.
But Bob wanted some Halloween treats.
He talked me into putting on a costume and scaring up some candy for him.
I did it then.
I won’t do it now.
Oh, the unfairness of growing up.

I trick or treated all through high school!
I did too, with a little persuasion from Bob!
