| Halloween Shivers |
Halloween is almost upon us. It seems that it’s increasingly
becoming an occasion geared towards children’s enjoyment – an occasion that’s dreaded
by adults…
The other day I spoke to a teacher who has the unenviable
task of supervising a large group of children for an overnight stay away on Halloween
night.
One of the highlights is wearing fancy dress and drinking
hot chocolate outside in the evening. She said that the children love it but
that for her it was just cold and miserable.
Me: “What will you be going as?”
Teacher: “I’m borrowing my mother-in-law’s long silver
and black dress because it’s warm.”
Me: “Just the dress, no other fancy dress type thing?”
Teacher: “No, I don’t think so, just the warm dress.”
Me: “But don’t you have to be a character? You can’t just
dress up as your mother-in-law can you?”
Teacher: “I suppose I could get a witch’s hat from the
supermarket.”
Me: “And what about the other teacher? What’s she going
as?”
Teacher: “Oh… I think she’s going as something warm.”
It’s funny how your priorities change as you get older.
