10/30: Best mischievous thing to do for Halloween.  Oh scare people definitely! It brings me great joy. Especially my elders who always say I'm going to give them a heart attack and they are going to come back and haunt me the rest of my life. ( I have not caused any heart attacks yet). I do like to let them know someone has to keep them on their toes and give their hearts a lil jump start.

The Best Mischievous thing to do on Halloween 🎃 

Playing tricks or jokes on trick or treaters of course! ☺️

[Titian06]

10/30: Best mischievous thing to do for Halloween.  I'm too much of a goody two shoes to do anything mischievous. 🤣 

[CynthieLu]

Your the sweetest! But if you were to maybe do something.. hypothetically of course.. what do you think it could be? @Titian06 

[Titian06]

@CynthieLu - Giving out toothbrushes instead of candy??? 😁🪥  Of course then I would feel obligated to include sample size toothpaste too! 🫧

[CynthieLu]

Hehe that's a good one! 🪥😂 @Titian06 and handy, given the amounts of candy those teeth world be exposed to. 😜

[Samtian]

10/29: If you could go to a themed costume party, what would you like to see everyone wear?  I would say a Purge themed party would be fun, but I've watched all of those so I'd be scared lol. A vintage costume and decor themed party would be awesome!

[caitbird]

@Samtian  ooh, I would love that, I love vintage fashion and decor!

[CynthieLu]

That would be a crazy fun party concept @Samtian 😜 🎭
