The Day After Halloween 13th St Style (My Annual Nov. 1 Post)


Nov 1, 2007

13th St NW Washington, DC

I'm sitting down to eat and the doorbell rings. Opening the door I see two unfamiliar young girls dressed neatly in jeans and sweatshirts.

"Do you have any Halloween candy left?"

"No" I said rather stunned.

"Okay" they mumbled and started down the sidewalk. No apology for disturbing my dinner. No explanation why they were a day late and a costume short.

Finally realizing that DC uncostumed candyscams had reached new heights in chutzpah I yelled "And I won't have any tomorrow night either!"

In Chile, October 31st is the day of All the Dead (not sure that is well said, not sure about the translation); and November 1st is the Day of All the Saints. This last day is actually a religious holiday (and since Chile is so effing catholic, it is actually a holiday and nobody works). So, maybe they were pretending to be saints or something and wanting their candy too? Ok, that was lame, never mind
