October Monday Well, it's finally October, and there are only thirty days left until Halloween.Halloween is my favorite holiday, even though Mom says I'm getting too old to go trick-or-treating anymore.Halloween is Dad's favorite holiday, too, but for a different reason.On Halloween night, while all the other parents are handing out candy, Dad is hiding in the bushes with a big trash can full of water.And if any teenagers pass by our driveway, he drenches them.I'm not sure Dad really understands the concept of Halloween.But I'm not gonna be the one who spoils his fun.Trick or treat!Heh, heh.Tonight was the opening night of the Crossland High School haunted house, and I got Mom to agree to take me and Rowley.Rowley showed up at my house wearing his Halloween costume from last year.When I called him earlier I told him to just wear regular clothes, but of course he didn't listen.
