TRICK OR TREAT OR CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES

We were finally getting around to cleaning Maddy’s room. She was distracted by the pile of Halloween costume rejects that she had tried on and dumped in a corner weeks ago when she decided to be a cowgirl.

But oh, the contenders. She sorted through them wistfully. There was the cheery red felt ladybug costume. There was the mousie with the long tail and gray mittens. There were the clown shoes and the Viking hat.

Maddy, clad only in her Care Bear undies, picked up a feathery pair of white angel wings and slipped them on. She picked up the little zither that was to be her “harp.”

“Heyyyyy!” she exclaimed. “Next year I could go as a NUDIST ANGEL!!!”

I can just IMAGINE what they’ll put in her trick-or-treat bag . . . as they’re calling 911.
