I overheard a pretty funny conversation today that reminded me of another funny Halloween incident from some years ago.

A Critical Difference

The child in this story is roughly 9 years old.

Father: How was your Halloween party today at school.

Son: Ummm, this girl Matilda, it looked like she was wearing a sign that said “Hitler.”

Father: Oh. Geez.

Son: Yeah, it turned out it just said “Highlighter” though.

Father: You don’t want to get those two confused.

The Priest

It’s been probably 12-15 years since I witnessed this one, but I still remember it vividly. The child, about 6 years old, is in a Party City with his mother, presumably shopping for a costume.

Son: Picks up a huge plastic scythe with a blood-covered blade nearly as long as he is tall, and holds it up for his mother to see. Mommy, mommy, I want to be a priest.

Mother: What kinda fucked up priest you talkin’ bout?
