At the end of the week I will be facing my nightmare. Asa picked out a Halloween costume for me. It’s not that I don’t like dressing up. It’s just that Asa and I have very different opinions on what a Halloween costume should be. In the spirit of the holiday, I think a costume should be scary. In contrast, Asa’s philosophy is a costume should reflect one’s personality or hobbies. Therefore I have no doubt Asa chose something silly and not scary for me to wear. But in my defense, with my busy schedule as a great detective and renowned Dog Ufologist, who has time to scour the internet for a costume? Asa does, that’s who!
Last year I avoided this humiliation because Asa got distracted and had a late start to his search. Although he found a wide variety that he liked, thankfully they were all sold out in the size needed to fit his ginormous blockhead and furry chest. Therefore I got to rewear my favorite werewolf costume consisting of a simple flannel shirt, while Asa wore his beloved caterpillar costume again.
I wish I did a better job distracting Asa from his quest this year, but what’s done is done. So instead I went to work trying to stop delivery by removing the porch stairs.
But much to my amazement I still found Asa in the kitchen surrounded by his purchases!
Who taught Asa how to rebuild stairs?!
