Hallowe'en Prank
One Hallowe'en, after my friend John and I got too old to go trick-or-treating, we made a dummy out of old clothes and rags. We tied a rope around its "head" and threw the rope over a limb on the tree that grew by the walkway to his front door. Hoisting it up and out of sight, we hid and waited for little kids to come up the walk. When they did, we dropped the dummy down so it dangled in front of them and yelled, "Boo!" I don't recall us keeping that up for long. Either the dummy fell apart, or his mom told us to cut it out, or we got bored. Not much of a story -- just an old snapshot memory...
