The witch that killed a treeI had seen a really cool decoration of a witch that crashed into a tree. So, as there was a handy tree in my front yard, I got a broom, and pushed it between two branches, until it was steady. Then I got some of my kids' old clothes, stuffed them with plastic bags, attached some shoes and another bag for a head, and put a black witches hat on it. And it looked really good - like a witch had flown and crashed into the tree.
It got lots of admiration on Halloween. But the scary thing was that the tree started to die after that. The leaves went brown, branches started to die, and eventually it was so unsafe I had to get it cut down. To this day it seems a strange coincidence that it only started to die after I put the witch in it.
They played a trick on the wrong carTwo years ago I had lots of halloween decorations in my front yard. Cobwebs, giant spiders, bats, ghosts, you name it. We were all set up. And lots of lollies. But the problem when your kids are young is that you have to accompany them on their trick or treating. So there was no-one left at home to hand out the lollies. I left a giant bowl of lollies right at the front door, and left it to the honour system that kids would only take a few each.
But when we got back half an hour later, the lollies had run out. And there were a couple of eggs decorating the car in front of our house. I guess the tricksters didn't realise it wasn't our car. We don't have a driveway or garage, and that day I had to park halfway down the street because the spot out front was taken. Just their bad luck I guess. It'll be interesting to see if the spot is free this halloween. And whether i park there or not.
