By Default

This year Halloween did not go as smoothly as last year. To begin with, my husband held me to something I said last year about Gus' costumes keeping with our surroundings. I learned a lesson about shooting off my big mouth, because finding a pre made costume that reflected our new state was difficult. So I went through the giving myself too much credit stage and planned on making his costume. Yeah, right! Finally I found the almost perfect tropical costume but was told it would not be delivered until the day after the fact. So we had to emprovise and this is was I came up with under pressure.
A dead battery.........Duracell to be exact. Cut me some slack, I had moments to deliver something clever.
