Night of Terror
by carolynholm
Dear Alpha Mommy,
This rat is very intimidating.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
It’s meant to be scary. But it’s not real, sweetie. It’s a Halloween decoration.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
Puffin says that Halloween is a night of terror.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
It’s all pretend, sweetie. Puffin takes it too seriously.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
He says we all need hiding places that night. He hides under the bed. Where should I hide?
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
You don’t need to hide. It’s really not all that scary.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
Molly says evil children come to demand our food. I thought children were nice!
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Molly has never liked kids. Don’t listen to her.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
But why are they demanding our food?
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
It’s just a tradition. Costumes, candy consumption, ringing doorbells, it’s a human species thing. Everyone is having a lot of fun.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
Mia says she wants to dress up in a costume for Halloween.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
I’d like to see that.
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
She wants to dress up as Carly Fiorina.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Very clever! And a little scary. Which is quite appropriate for Halloween!
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
At first she thought of putting on a shaggy blond wig and going as Donald Trump. But she changed her mind. She says Puffin looks more like The Donald. And she’s more like Carly.
XOXOXO
Poppy
Dear Poppy,
Very perceptive. Is she planning to dress Puffin up as Trump?
Love, Carolyn
Dear Alpha Mommy,
If you can persuade him to come out from under the bed.
XOXOXO
Poppy
