Halloween
Happy As A Clam
“My Halloween costume in 1992: spaghetti and clam sauce. There’s a big plexiglass fork on the side sticking up. My dad dribbled real clam juice all over me so no one would get too close at the middle school dance.”

Sharp Objects
“Florida, Halloween 1980. Me and my dad. My parents took a very liberal approach to the question of whether babies should be allowed to carve their own pumpkins.”

Justice League
“My parents took me to a Halloween autograph session with ‘Justice League’ superheroes. Now that I look at it 30 years later I find it quite creepy, particularly Spider-Man.”

Pumpkin Spice
“We were taking our daughter to her first pumpkin patch and they had a little photoshoot set up that anyone could use. We tried it and my brother was the ‘photographer’ since my daughter wasn’t cooperating he took a bunch of pictures just hoping for a good one and I think he nailed it!”

The Parade Route
“I made a route map for my neighborhood golf cart parade… good ole family fun right?! Didnt even notice until after it was emailed… to the entire neighborhood. Legitimately- have always heard our neighborhood has a lot of swingers… now I know how they all knew where to move!”

Crappy Halloween
“Here is a picture of me and my younger brother on Halloween. My brother got sick and was not allowed to trick or treat. I was able to go and my brother was clearly not happy about it.”
