A grandmother took down all the Halloween decorations her grandson had made – but when her mother pointed it out, she whispered, « Ask him why he wanted them taken down. »

« You should ask your grandson. »

Someone behind the judges burst out laughing.

Elaine pointed to the toilet paper.

« I want all of this removed immediately! »

I raised my eyebrows.

« Before you get upset, Elaine, perhaps you should ask your grandson why he wanted to decorate your house. »

« Happy Halloween, Grandma! »

For a moment, she was completely speechless.

Then she turned to Owen. He gave her his most beautiful smile.

« Happy Halloween, Grandma! »

Even one of the judges couldn’t help but laugh.

« That’s not funny! » exclaimed Elaine. « We have to call the police! »

« What does that mean? »

I put down my coffee.

« That’s interesting, Elaine. You weren’t this upset when you were sneaking up to my son’s bedroom window, dressed in a sheet. »

The neighbors fell silent.

One of the judges frowned. « What does that mean? »

« Was it you, the ghost? »

Elaine turned pale. « She’s making all that up! » GetWriting Tools
