Distress Rehearsal

We purchased the boys’ Halloween costumes in Gainesville, Florida last month on our way home from Grandma and Granddaddy Roe’s house. Ironically, it was the day the University of Florida’s Heisman winning Quarterback Tim Tebow received a scary concussion from the University of Kentucky, as the Gaters were murdering UK 41-7. We chose our costumes, but when the boys became frightened by the Halloween store’s scary items, we left quickly without the benefit of trying them on for size. Now, one day before Halloween, we thought we should try on everything with time for any necessary last minute alterations. Benjamin James was totally cooperative and loved the dress-up fun, but Trey Davey was not in the mood. After his meager efforts to hide failed, he fought and howled like a slasher-movie scream-queen before being succumbed by the monstrous costume.
