Trick or Treat this!
November 01, 2007I went with the family to the mall last night for a little Trick or Treat. I was excited. It was my kid's first Halloween. He can't eat his own candy so I was obviously attracted to eating his sweets for him.
At the last minute I threw on my brother's costume from last year. It was the scary guy from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It had work shirt, bloody apron and scary mask included.
No chainsaw though.
I had to have someone walk in front of me because my peripheral vision was shot with the mask on. No big deal. I didn't plan on staying at the mall that long anyways.
We started at Piccadilly and worked our way towards Old Navy. It was fun. I grossed some kids out. It didn't phaze my 8-month old. I don't know why. He just wanted to play with the plastic face that was his dad.
We made down to the candy stand and Taco Bell when some authority from above stopped me and requested I take my mask off.
I figured I didn't want trouble so I did what I was told, but now that I think about it I should have told the rent-a-cops to go to hell on Halloween.
I mean, it was Halloween, the only time I would wear a mask to the mall and feel OK about the whole situation. I have thought about holding up the shoe store once or twice, but I would consider another option than a Texas Chainsaw Massacre mask. I'd probably go with a 80s ski mask, with blue stripes or something along those lines.
Wasn't the point of Halloween to dress up as something ridiculous? Anywho... I'm still mad at the mall security. Probably will be for the next 2 hours and 13 minutes....
In the end, I'm just glad the Mall Security was doing their job. Praise all around mall cops.
