HALLOWEEN MEMORY

My kids, even though they are all in their 20’s, seriously get into costumes for Halloween. The best is usually my son. Since he works in a grocery store, the public gets to see him all day. One year he went as a superhero with blue skin. That was the best because the kids coming into the store loved it.  For him, it was bad because he had to wear gloves all day or he would make all the food packages blue.
