Scary Grandma

When I grew up we didn’t have costumes for Halloween. We used our imaginations and anything we could find to dress up in.

I knew I was getting old when my grandson called on Halloween to say he was bringing my little great-granddaughter by so I could see her dressed up in her little doggie outfit. I decided I would surprise her, too.

I grabbed a big scarf and tied it around my shoulders and put a plastic grocery bag on my head. I thought she would think I was dressed up also.

I opened the door and she took one look at me and began to cry. She cried so hard they had to raise her cap so she wouldn’t get it too wet.

It took a lot of loving and candy to get her quiet. Finally she let them put the cap down and let me see her in her “Clifford” outfit. She still didn’t care for mine. Of course, we were all laughing, which didn’t help any.

I learned one thing for sure. We old grandmas don’t need any help on Halloween.
