It’s Halloween. The night the kids get candy and the adults get loaded. I’ll be heading out in my typical Lazy Dad-style costume. You know what I mean, those half-baked, low-effort get-ups that a perhaps slightly-tippled dad wears as he trails behind his kids with a flashlight, wishing he’d remembered to bring along a flask. Happy Halloween!
I will be holding the fort tonight while she takes the spawn around the block chasing up some pre-diabetes. Fortified with a coffee cup full of whiskey neat, I will be the guardian of the candy stash metering it out to the little munchkins that turn up at my doorstep. Hoping for some inappropriate moms in costume while I try to hoard all the Mr. Goodbars in the Hershey mix bag. Happy Halloween to you as well.
