This Thursday I will be winging my way to Chicago for a Girl’s Weekend with Daughter, Other Daughter, and Other Other Daughter which will be much with the fun!
Maybe…
See, Daughter has suggested that on Saturday evening we go to Daley Plaza for “a Halloween Thing” going on there. Okay, says me, (dumb ass, trusting me), thinking about pumpkins and candy and face painting and fun, non-scary Halloween things that are innocuous and enjoyable and that make my inner toddler squeal in glorious anticipation.
Then this afternoon I search Google to find out precisely where Daley Plaza is located and find out that for the month of October, it has been renamed Franken Plaza. As in -stein. You know, Frankenstein? And there’s a HAUNTED VILLAGE! OhnoOhnoOhnoOhnoooooo. And that this is all part of Chicagoween. Holy cow. This city takes its Halloween celebration seriously which probably means lots and lots of SCARY.
I don’t do well with SCARY. Or with lower case scary, for that matter. Ask Daughter. She still teases me for screaming and covering my eyes during a Harry Potter movie. This little trip to Franken Plaza may require adult diapers.
If you happen to be at Franken Plaza Saturday night, I’ll be the one quaking and hyperventilating and screaming for my mommy.
Stop and say Boo!

Hahaha — Sorry — had to laugh. We know you get scared of ghouls.
You’ll have fun! (This might be a good time to take up drinking)

This sounds like too much fun. It’ll be nice to be scared like that instead of just what you’re hearing on t.v.
