PLEASE...NO FALSE TEETH!!!

How could I forget this one? While thinking back to my neighborhood as a kid, I recalled a story told to me "second-hand", mind you, but from a "reliable source". Here it is. Catty-corner to the right and across the street from my house, was a family with an ever-present Black Cat and the parents had 4 kids. Two boys and two girls. The youngest boy was about 5 when he was crying outdoors in the summer. Across the street was a rather colorful neighbor (whose son looked like a bearded John Lennon). Well, she was barefoot and walking outside wearing a summer dress when the little kid across the street started wailing in front of his parent's house. So, as the small kid's brother (my "reliable source") told me, my neighbor two doors to the right from my house walked over and said, "Well now, what's all this crying about?" The kid responded through sobs: "My mom won't give me any candy! Waaahhhhh!!!" The neighbor then reacts. "Well good for her! Because you want to see what candy did for me?" At this point she removes her set of false teeth and holds it out to the traumatized kid who quickly ran screaming into the house. The neighbor, put her teeth back in and promptly walked back inside her house, presumably to squeeze some fresh Poligrip on her set of dentures! To the best of my knowledge the affected kid still went out for "Trick or Treat". But, geez!! What a wacky event!!!...

Slightly different subject. I've fielded some e-mails about "Friday Movie Suggestion Night" and the answer is YES! Suggestions are definitely welcomed. That's what keeps it FUN! Another hard night to sleep caught me channel surfing when I noticed a recent movie I suggested (and a personal favorite)--"The Horse Whisperer". For the first time in years, I stayed up until 5 a.m. So, suggest away because I have written in November's schedule in lead pencil only. Sure, we can change it up! This weekend, it's time to laugh. The floor is yours on last weeks film or whatever crosses your mind...
