Reports indicate that local trick-or-treater Damien Devon really thinks he’s gonna fill that pillowcase in this economy.
“Hooray! I am going to get sooo much candy tonight,” Devon exclaimed, unaware that a small plastic pumpkin basket would probably suffice after the way the economy has been looking these past few years. “I hope they like my costume and let me take extra pieces!”
“I bet Mom will take me to the king-size candy bar neighborhoods,” Devon added, not even paying attention to the amount of recent foreclosures in the area. “Should I bring a second pillowcase just in case?”
“We should start trick or treating at 4 o’clock so that we have lots of time to hit more houses,” said Devon, forgetting that the ever-increasing rate of inflation will surely quell his candy income for the night. “This stuff is gonna last me for weeks.”
At press time, a five-year-old girl dressed as Elsa was really thinking she would win the costume contest against three-year-old Ruth Bader Ginsburg in this political climate.
