Turnabout

Well, here at the home things move along. Today was the monthly visit from Lifestream church to feed us. Some actually tasty beef stew for dinner. A dozen screaming grade schoolers along for the ride so wring got to hand out boocoo ducks. We enjoy them.

But we got a notice on our door about reverse trick or treat was going to knock on our doors this evening. Some other church group was going to come around and hand out candy and stuff. I am not usually fond of random knocks on my door, but they came by and I opened 'er up. I saw four or five adults and a couple of younger kids. They all had bags. They offered me a roll of toilet paper. Well I can always use that. They were telling me they were up on our floor, their last, and still had stuff so they kept offering things. Here, take two. I said Oh good, one for my wife. Wife? Here, have two more. OK. Sensing the youngsters, wring comes to the door and ducks them. They came up with tubes of toothpaste, my brand even - the baking soda and peroxide version. They had little bags of candy - all sugar free. And bags of Cracker Jack. If ther is no Cracker Jack across the ponds, that is caramel corn with peanuts. I think wring also wound up with some shampoo and lotion.

I guess they were all smiling and friendly, and not being churchy, so it was OK. I guess I am just a cranky old fuck.

So as I closed my door, they were headed next door to Kay's place. WHile we were chatting at our door, our cats had been trying mightily to get out into the hall, and presumably visit Sheldon. SO a few moments late it occurred to me that Kay might let Sheldon out while talking at her door. SO I went back out, and the group had already progressed around the corner. I think Kay didn't answer her door. I ascertained that her door was closed... and no Sheldon. But as I turned to go back in, I heard running footseps around the other corner. And a teenage girl runs into view, saying Hi. I asked if she were trying to catch up with the group, yes she was. She has a bag and says "Want some toilet paper?" Sure.

Haappy Halloween.

The toilet paper, or the shit?

One was a media event, the other is chimp-like behavior.

Hey, more new expressions I learned today!
To "duck" someone, and "pants-on-for..." (to say something is worthwhile).

Thanks to Blackadder, we’ve had “best <activity> trousers on” when <activity> is expected to be worthwhile, for a while over here.
