I usually find Halloween such a fun and amazing time, except for one Halloween that took place during my younger years probably in grade 1 or 2.
It was Halloween and I planned to go trick-or-treating with my cousins. We were all rocking our awesome Halloween costumes and taking pictures before it was time to go. This was such a long time ago that I don't clearly remember my costume. I think I was a cow...or some sort of animal. I don't really remember. At 7:00 or so, we set off to collect our candy. We were having fun going around knocking on the doors of the scary and funky decorated houses. Whenever a person would open the door, I'd be so excited to recieve those scrumptious delights. After getting the candy, my cousins and I would hop in the wagon we brought if we were tired and our parents would pull us around the neighborhood. We were having an awesome night, and we were nearly done trick or treating, but when it came down to the the lasat few houses, after I got my candy I realized that the group was beginning to leave. I didn't want to get lost so I started running. Maybe running in the dark wasn't such the best idea. I tripped on a crack and fell. I scraped both my knees and they started to bleed. I stumbled to get up and tried to walk to the rest of them. When they knew what had happened, they plopped me in the wagon and we headed for home.
When we got home my knees STUNG. My cheeks were still wet and I couldn't walk properly. They tried to clean my knees up with water but that made it burn even more! We let it be for a while until I felt better. The cuts started to fade after a few days. The positive side about that Halloween was I did get a lot of candy...excluding the ones that we threw out because we didn't trust them. Anyway, that would be my worst Halloween. Just so you know, the rest of my Halloweens were all so much fun! Oh! I almost forgot. Don't run in the dark on Halloween night!

Now that you said that I probably will be a little more careful during Halloween Christine but those scrapes must have been pretty bad. I remember when I was very young my parents would roll me around in one of those carts whenever I got tired. An awesome blog Christine!
ReplyDeleteCHRISTINE that was......... I can't even find a word to explain what it was, so I'll go with THIS IT WAS AN AWESOME STORY/BLOG! I loved reading it, the way you fit the words into your story is really awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt must of really hurt when you fell, I would know I probably fell 101 times. I do the same thing with the candies I don't trust. It was very good advice at the end, it's probably best if you don't run in the dark. GREAT STORY! :D

Yes yes yes, I totally agree with Sean. It was very well written and I felt bad for you when I was reading and you cut your knees. Ouch! Awesome job Christine
ReplyDeleteGood job Christine! I thought it was shocking that you scraped both of your knees. I wonder if the blood from your knees sank through your costume, that would be really nasty. But at least you got a lot of candy! Anyway, this was a great blog!
