#42: Halloween Rivalry

Ah, friendly neighborhood rivalries. Is friendly rivalry an oxymoron? As a mom, this isn’t something that applies to me, but I can see how dads would try to one-up each other. Still, I think this dad has it all wrong. Skip the rack of ribs and go for the various bags of candy, still packed and sealed. For one, it’s cheaper, and for two, it’s less messy.

Don’t get me wrong. He can absolutely still offer full racks of ribs to the adults who valiantly trek behind their little sugar-soaked kids. I wouldn’t say no to that barbecue-smothered meaty, juicy goodness as a power-up refill on a cold Halloween night. Would you?
