Or you could do some sort of Batman/Beetlejuice crossover, with you doing the "parents" and Li'l Z going as some sort of Batman/Lydia mashup (Twice the goth!). Bonus points if you get someone to go as Beetlejuice/Joker.Heh heh... if Li'l Z ever asks to dress as Batman, I swear Mr. Z and I will go as his dead parents.
If this ever happens for real, can we get Michael Keaton to play both parts?

Jet has been trying to tell scary stories and today is the closest he has gotten.
"In a old, dark room It sat looking through thin gray curtains with thin little eyes. It was waiting for the night to eat.
"Its favourite weather was the rain and fog. That meant less light. That meant it could hunt at day.
"And it loved a challenge."
Not bad, kid. He's getting better at this whole story thing.

I'm giving GB the funny rating for the dead parents joke set-up. Surely he knew what he was doing.

You know what used to be so exciting during the holidays when I was a kid? That rotating "SPECIAL" graphic that played on TV. Because you knew you were getting that rare prime time cartoon that would ever so briefly supplant the boring show your parents had planned to watch.

The ones in green are Anna, Elsa's younger sister. The ones in pink are either Anna with her pink cloak when she first goes out looking for Elsa,
or Elsa in her full coronation garb, which had a long flowing pink train over her formal gown.
But the vast majority of the little girls are post-Let-It-Go Elsa the Snow Queen in her conjured ice-dress, just a hair's breadth from the villainhood which would have made the story a fair amount more interesting, IMO.
I think I like the smell of a kit-kat, more than the actual taste of a kit-kat. It oddly adds to my enjoyment of them.
It's only started picking up the last two years here, mostly because people finally started dying off and moving out when their kids were grown. Now more families are moving in.
It was kinda dead around my hood too, last two years we ran out of candy in an hour, this year I had a good handful left.
That's freakin' awesome. It's also a good example of how a pattern can carry over and still be recognizable as a pattern even if it is somehow format-shifted.
Also, it looks like a good way to defragment your keyboard.
I always say the same thing about coffee. And pipe tobacco.

Agreed, there have been many a coffee where I felt the taste was just okay but the smell and the heat of it still made it. Also my long standing caffeine addiction but that goes without saying.
I told Jet that you guys liked his story.
"TELL THEM NOT TO STEAL IT. And, Mommy, ask them to say how to do stories better."
He is watching me type this. He can't read. I could say anything right now and say he said it. As long as it goes between quotation marks he'll believe I'm writing down what he is saying.
Have you ever had coffee that seemed to be anti-caffeinated? Not just decaf, but actively sucking the wakefulness out of you and putting you to sleep? I don't know how the coffee place I was at today managed it, I had to come home and have some coffee to wake me up from drinking their coffee.
Someone I follow on Tumblr did a nature-y photo and I commented wondering if they were pagan because the photo had that vibe and my wife had done similar photos. The girl I follow sent me a message apologizing if the photo came off as appropriating pagan culture and that she meant no offense.
-_- Sometimes I really hate Tumblr, because it does shit like this to people where they feel the need to second guess every action they take.
