I've had an interesting array of trick-or-treaters this evening ...
Teenagers wearing Santa hats and telling me they were his elves and collecting candy for stockings.
One Harry Potter fangirl who was squeeing that I named my dog Voldemort. (I was telling him to get back inside and said his name ... the girl wanted to take him then and there.)
Two 40-something ladies dressed up in elaborate fairy costumes. No apologizing, just having a great time. They were the only ones to mention their recognition of my door sign: "Bell out of order please knock". In fact, they were singing 'Ding Dong the Witch is Dead' when I opened the door.
One five-year-old who wanted to steal my steampunk goggles.
A dad who started talking to me about Salem because I was wearing my Salem witch t-shirt. His kids were trying to pull him over to the next house.
One cat that tried to sneak into the house while I was handing out candy. I may end up adopting it if it hangs around that close again. (My ex-husband got the cat in the divorce.)
(Did I ever mention I like my weird neighborhood?)
So, any interesting people come to your door tonight?
