"Hey! Hey! MAD KANE, What!! What are you supposed to be! What! Here take some candy, I cant hear you over the False Alarm

"Sheesh I think my ears are bleeding. Poor ZenKitty, I almost pissed her in her sailor suit from that racket, at least I think it was a sailor suit, since she was singing about Going with the Flow Hmm and the fishing pole was a good tip off to I think.

"Oh Sweety you have to come look. Yes I know your cleaning up the furballs I said I would get from Miss Kittie, but if you dont hurry your going to miss Marisa from that apartment across the street, yes Apartment 2024. Shes dressed like a squirrel and trying make sure everyone knows about her Hording rubberbands and other confessions Hey, its a good idea when collecting candy to be so frugal? Hey, what do you mean babe, Ive only had like 5 or 6 snickers."

"ok, I have to run and get the Kit Kats, yes Kit Kats, I know there your favorite, honey, but, well, you left me in charge of the candy. Take care of Wa Salaam. yes Wa Salaam, the one dressed up like a Mirror, or is that a Reflection in Nature. Oh shoot I cant tell, I need to go to the bathroom, you figure it out. And don't look at me like that."

"Oh shoot, did I miss The Sam and BeckyBoo Show. She said she was going to be dressed like,Julie; Julie McCoy from the Love Boat. Well thats good, that was your favorite show, I liked Fantasy Island better. Yes, of course I washed my hands -eye roll-"

"Quick, Quick, come here, look its Mimi, dressed up like a vacuum cleaner that sucks – part 3 Yes, I meant the vacuum cleaner, not the costume. No you shouldnt chase after her telling her about how heavy your hoover is dear. Dear come back!"

"Oh I didnt tell you, while you were upstairs cleaning up after Miss Kittie. Miss Margo came by as well, dressed up like a B-52 I think. Though I dont know, she yelled Tiiiiiin Roof Rusted! at me, so I yelled Hook Em Horns right back. What do you think Tin Roof Rusted means? Dont, hey, stop hitting me, the Horns was a joke! Ouch!"

"Quick Hide Kittie, you know she loves dogs, I see Lil Duck Duck coming, with a Big Red Dog. Look at her face, it just screams The things I do for this child…. Yes, pookie, we should give her and the dog some extra Snickers. Hey wait not my Snickers!"

"Phew, I think we made it, I dont see anybody else coming down the driveway. How much candy do we have left, oh beautiful wife of mine. Hey, dont hide it, hey, hey, come back here, dont make me spank you with this Freddy Krueger claw"

Ok, I wanted to include this submission from Mona as well. I just could not figure out a way to get humor, even my small amounts of humor into it, so im posting it Here as a small tribute to Red and her mom.

Thanks for visiting and thanks to everyone who made it so easy to host, or at least collect such easy stories to work with.
