Bored out of my mind! I sat all day watching these two men re-shingle the house sending out a mental SOS telepathically...nothing....they just keep admiring me and working. They are missing the whole point. So I watch CNN...nothing but election stuff...oh yes and Halloween stories. I have no idea what it is so I wait for The Lady to come home to ask. She flies in the door with the Coach satchel full of work she will never do tonight but brings it home anyway, drops everything, checks her messages and wonders why no one call at home anymore, the wrinkle in her forehead deepens, she checks her cell phone wondering if it is broken. After all....it is Friday night...why are not more people calling? So.. I distract her with questions. What are WE doing for Halloween? She looks up slightly startled. "Oh Annie... I completely forgot. Quickly let's run around and shut off all the lights." Now I am completely confused. Are you not suppose to turn on all the lights and pass out candy to Urchins and Cherubs? She says "quick..Annie...hide". So I do.
In the coat closet. I wait and wait. She has no idea where I am. As I peer out she is turning off the lights all well pouring a glass of fermented white grapes. So.. I whisper.... "Hey Lady...what are we doing? How long should I stay here? Is the litter box off limits if I need to go?" She quickly shushes me and draws the blinds. Now I am intrigued...Is this serious? Are we under attack? Have I not taken this holiday seriously? She calmly explains to me that we must hide in the back of the house as many unknown cherubs and urchins will ring the door bell looking for handouts of candy. I gasped.... Why? We do not know them. Exactly! she explained. We hide. After a lengthy explanation of the shenanigans that occur I hunker down in the straw basket. Perhaps she is wiser than I thought. Maybe not........... but I am horrified.
