This time of year I get more cranky than usual. I can't wait until the Thanksgiving season starts so that we can be done with witches and jack-o-lanterns.
The losers across the street have already started decorating for Halloween. For God's sake, Halloween is a month and a half away~!
They have one of those animatronic witches that is motion activated to make cackling noises and says Happy Halloween! There is no way that I'm going to listen to that for the next six weeks, so last night at three a.m. I went out all dressed in black and squirted some black paint into the little hole that houses the motion sensor- fortunately they turned the witch off for the night or I probably would have been caught red-handed disabling their stupid toy.
This morning I watched as the father switched the toy back on but there was no response! He tried several times to get the robot witch to respond, even changed the batteries, but- nothing! Problem solved.
Another neighbor has a string of orange LED lights around his fence. That was easy to disable with a little wire clipper. Snip, snip!
Thank Jesus that the Congress changed daylight savings time to the week after Halloween a few years ago. That means that Halloween starts an hour later than it used to, but the 10 p.m. curfew still stands. The usual four hours of mayhem has been reduced to three hours. If anyone says that Congress never gets anything right, well, at least they were able to make Halloween shorter. I'll give them that.
I could use some good ideas on other ways to ruin Halloween. (No pins-in-apples or poisoned candy suggestions, please. I've already thought of that, but I don't want to go to jail for Jesus, again.
