Matrix or Treat

For the past couple of years, I’ve sponsored a Halloween party for the kids in my neighborhood.  Well, this year the party has expanded, so now we’re having the party held at the community center.  And every year my friend Dre and I have dressed in different themes.

Last year we went with a Star Wars theme.  This year we’re going with a Matrix theme.  And my brother is even getting in on the act.  I’m going as Niobe, Dre will be Neo and my brother is going as Morpheus.

I really wish that some parents in the neighborhood would volunteer to take over one year because this is really wearing me out.  As much as I love the kids, I can’t keep doing this forever, nor am I guaranteed to keep living in this city.  But for now, I’ll play hostess again this year.

nobody in my neighborhood is doing Halloween…We inviting our African neighbor’s 15 kids (he has two wives) to our house for some bobbing for apples, candy and cupcakes…

No trick or treating/begging this year…I haven’t done a sex offender registry check in my neighborhood yet

Diva, you’re going to invite a polygamist over to your house for Halloween? Is he the trick or the treat? The jokes just write themselves on this one.

Nah….not the father…or the wives….just the kids!

I don’t want that polygamy demon getting in and floating around in my house!

He said to Scribe: “We Bruddahs!”….I said no yall ain’t…there will be no other wives in this marriage!

By the way…I must send you a copy of “The Comforter” doing Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson…Girl I was on the floor!
