As much as I like Halloween my most vivid recollection, as a child, was the embarrassment of having to shove a UNICEF carton in the face of a neighbor and ask for a donation...while at the same time greedily taking their candy offerings. Felt weird.
Okay, who on earth made you do THAT on Halloween, you poor thing? Halloween, for a kid, is supposed to be about begging for candy, not UNICEF, amirite?
The collection cartons were given out in school classrooms. After Halloween, you turned it in. Good deed done, but kinda took away from the fun. That was in the 60's. We didn't question so much.
I was going to share the scene from S4 Buffy of her carving a pumpkin while moaning about someone ripping out your guts, but YouTube does not want to show it to me (assuming they have it at all.)
Also, since I really am old enough to be your biological father (granted, it would have meant starting early) I'm not sure you get to complain about being as old as the wheel. That sort of makes me the "darkness" that "moved over the water" in the Genesis story. Which I wouldn't object to if it came with any perks.
BAHAHAHAHAHA! I love complaining about how old I am. For me, it's a humble-brag. Seriously. It's like saying, I'm here despite the odds. Nobody has successfully killed me. I earned this.
Also, I know that scene and love it. Buffy is nursing a bruised ego from being dumped by Parker. Season 4 was awesome.
Cool story, I’m blarned!👏 I couldn’t help but visualize a new take on a Halloween movie by Tim Burton. 🎃
That's right. Consider yourself officially BLARNED.
Good one -- I didn't know that legend, either. (And I, too, suck at carving jack-o-lanterns!)
Girl, if YOU (the biggest badass Halloween aficionado I know) didn't know that story, then my work here is done.
"Moral of the story: I really ought not to do things." Words I could probably stand to live by. 🤗
We could get matching T-shirts!

Enjoyed this story. I never heard it!
That's what's so amazing--most folks haven't!
