NC as this will be outing to anyone who witnessed me! There's something about kids' Halloween parties run by schools and clubs that just invites misfortune... on Friday night I took the DC to their school disco. We got there at 7pm.
By 7:15pm DD got tangled up in her own cloak and knocked over one of the tall speakers, and the main lights had to be turned on so they could sort out the wires and rescue my thrashing vampire from the speaker pole.
Not long after this a rogue balloon hit me directly in the chips and I ended up covered in ketchup and potato.
As I passed a family to de-ketchup myself I spotted a small child had bitten into his glowstick and was glowing at the mouth. After steering him to his parents I got to the loos to see that the glowstick contents had also been on his clothes, so I was now both luminescent and smelling of condiments.
I cleaned myself up as much as I could, got back to my seat, and DS handed me a drumstick lolly with his tooth firmly embedded in it, because he 'couldn't get it out'. It was 7:37pm at this point.
...tell me your tales of Halloween party woe! Pleeeeeeeeease!
