I will admit this is a repost from my old blog site, but it is one of my favorite stories. Happy Halloween and Enjoy....
Walmart Man and his trusty sidekick Pussy Boy
So i want to start off by saying, the only reason i am posting this is because someone i dig, called me a pussy for not posting this story. So here it goes...
So while trick or treating with my kids last night, I ran into an old acquaintance. Ya know the kind of acquaintance that you see once a year by accident. Quick small talk, then gone. But before we said our goodbye's for another year, they suggested we go trick or treating at the retirement home. The words "Mother Lode" were used. (I think that is the correct spelling). So we were off to the "Mother Lode"...
When we arrived we were greeted at the door by, i swear a 100yr old man wearing a Walmart vest. Which i found quite amusing. Especially the part where he kept asking me if i "got" his costume. Probably the coolest old man ever, next to my grandpa. We made small talk and he made very "Unfair" candy trades with my kids, taking 1 piece of "Un Eatable" (his exact pronunciation) candy and replacing them with 3 pieces of the "Good Stuff" (his words again). He did this more than once while he escorted us to the correct path. He then escorted us to the "Mother Lode". It was the perfect trick or treating experience. Approximately 40-50 elderly folks sitting in a large circle, in the rec room. Each with their own bucket of candy, no more than 2ft apart. The kids were reluctant at first, but were soon in line for the gold mine. As i watched my kids, (and all the kids), receive their candy in happiness, I saw an even happier elderly person. I know it sounds kinda cheesy but it kinda choked me up a bit. Okay now before i hand you my balls, let me just tell you that i wasn't going to continue this story any farther, for the sake of my manhood, but it has a great ending... As we were walking out, Walmart Man (I never caught his name) turned his attention from the nursing staff (He was makin' the moves) to us. He stopped us in the lobby where we first met. I figured it was just gonna be another "Unfair" trade. He sat down in his walker/chair thing, to get to the kids level, while ignoring me and said something like this (I don't remember exactly what he said for reasons my manhood will not let me reveal) I paraphrase.
"You kids need to come back here every year, This is always our favorite time of the year. We see more kids tonight than we see all year. It's a little overwhelming for us to do this all in one night, kinda like Santa Claus does at Christmas. So, You kids are more than welcome to stop by anytime for your "Unfair Trades" of the "Un Eatable" candy. It'll be waiting here for you."
Well played sir...
I did get a tad bit emotional and yes the door did hit me in the vagina on the way out.
I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween. We did. And i suggest next year, calling around to your local retirement home to see if they will be handing out candy.
