The PERFECT Halloween Costume!!!

Ok, when I was seventeen, I discovered the PERFECT costume to scare kids on Halloween. That costume was: AN OLD MAN!

Let me explain...:

At the beginning of October 2007, I had agreed to be a part of a neighbourhood trunk-or-treat. The week before the event, I was admitted to a mental hospital for threatening to kill my entire class, (I was NOT on proper meds...) Anyway, I was given the all-clear, on the day of the trunk-or-treat. I didn't have a costume planned at the time, so I went to my neighborhood Wal-Mart and looked for a costume. Naturally, so close to Halloween, the pickings were slim. They did have an old wizard mask, and it was reasonably priced, so I got that, then went home to put on a pair of jeans and one of my Dad's flannel shirts, along with grabbing a walking stick.

I didn't think much about it; I was going to talk like an old man and walk around the event, while my Dad helped with handing out the candy...Every kid I came across either high-tailed it in the opposite direction, looked at me like I was crazy, or started crying!

Looking back now, it probably wasn't the best idea, but I did creep them out, so idk.
