TheBanyanTree: Blues Clues and the Power Ranger

[Margaret R. Kramer]

The boys carved the pumpkins, all four of them, the night before

The big boy, now the mighty age of four, and can remember Halloween from a
year ago, picked out his Power Rangers costume at the beginning of October
and after spending the entire month begging to wear it, finally can

The little boy, a sassy two years old, is devastated that his older brother
is wearing a Power Rangers costume, and doesn’t want to wear his Blues Clues
outfit that his brother picked out for him

Halloween night is here and a little fog seeps around the trees

Two little boys, guided by their parents, trek out into the night, psyched
up to scream, “Trick or treat,” and then whisper, “Thank you,” when the
candy is dropped into their plastic pumpkins

They come back with red cheeks and pumpkins full of candy

While their dad checks the candy for razor blades and arsenic, the older one
realizes he can be a Power Ranger without the mask

And the younger one picks it up and won’t take it off

In his blue costume with the little tail on the butt and the red Power
Ranger mask glued to his head, he looks a bit like Michael Meyers in
“Halloween”

That’s truly scary
