halloween...not!
Published Oct. 7, 2008
We don't do halloween anymore. We just eat out, stay late and when we get home we keep the lights off. It wasn't always this way. Halloween was a highlight of my life. Even as a grown up I loved halloween.
Here's why I don't do it anymore.
In the room of horors there was everything I could imagine. perhaps the best gag was spaghetti colored brown like worms which those entering saw someone eating like worms. We had a hangman's noose that was always a hit when someone put his head in and pretended to be hanging.
That gag proved fatal one halloween when I was not there. There was no one to supervise the room of horrors. One kid, 13 years old, placed his head in the noose and leaned forward to make it seem more real. in doing so he managed to put just enough pressure on the carotid arteries on both sides. This in turn stopped blood flow to the brain. when he was found unresponsive the rescue was called but it was too late.
THE END OF HALLOWEEN FOR ME AND MINE!!
BTW this function was sponsored by a small country church.

Halloween is still a great time for the kids. Churches have initiated a different kind of celebration and that is allright too.
BUT IT IS ALL FOR THE KIDS. AND LET IT HAPPEN FOR THEM EITHER WITH OR WITHOUT GHOSTS AND GOBLINS!

My hubby said this happened to a kid he knew.
He isn't home right now, so I don't have more details.
