Halloween Recap



No school today; think that teacher's union wised up and said "we don't want any part of your sugar-hyped over-tired kids"....

So, as you can see, Kevin went as Freddy Krueger. Kevin's been fascinated by horror movies, reads the recaps of them on Yahoo, etc. But he really hasn't seen any of them. We told him, if you want to be Freddy, you have to watch Freddy...but, that didn't happen, and last night he went out.

9 pm last night, boys are settling in for bed, Kevin walks into the room, and I put on the Nightmare on Elm Street showing that we had Tivo'd a few months back. Movie starts out with this girl wandering around in this furnace area and Freddy stalking her and getting ready to do his thing. Kevin is freaking out...this part wasn't in any of the recaps or reviews that he's read, he doesn't know what's going to happen. "Dad, what's going to happen?" I don't know. "Dad, can you watch it and then tell me what happens and then rewind it" No. "Dad, I don't think I'm old enough for this'. Ok, don't watch it.

We never did get to the end of that scene....he slowly edged out of the room, was watching the TV through the crack in the door, and then left before Freddy got close enough to do ???? (I still don't know, and don't remember, what happens next!)
