Billy was heading home from school the day before Halloween and didn't have a costume planned out yet. He thought about going as a ferocious dinosaur so he could roar and chase the girls, but opted to go with something less involved because he wanted to swim with his buddies at Kevin's (the friend whose hosting the party) parents' pool and of course he wanted to play XBOX and post pictures to Facebook on his iPad. That would be really difficult wearing a dinosaur costume.
Billy went a little too crazy eating chips and drinking Cokes at school, so he asked his mom to take him to a Walgreens to use the bathroom and there HE SAW IT. The perfect costume!!! At Walgreens? Yes, I know... you can buy everything from cigarettes, beer, toy soldiers, and posters of Justin Bieber... but nothing really good. But seriously, he found the pieces to assemble a Buddy the Elf costume and thought "Christmas in October! That would be hilarious!"
So his mom bought the costume for Billy, and with it a lottery ticket. She usually gets one every now and then to support the school system, ya know. On the way home, she asked Billy what he would want for his birthday celebration, since he is turning 15 in a week. "You know," said Billy, "I'd really like to get this duck hunting game for my Wii and invite my friends over to play." We can invite a few people - make sure you invite Jimmy - he really needs some good friend time because his parents are getting a divorce. I'd hate to not include him in on the fun!"
"Okay," Billy's mom said. "GREAT NEWS! Your dad's getting home from being off in Afghanistan that week."
"Yay!" Billy said. "I can't wait to see him. I love listening to 'I love that old time rock-n-roll' on the radio with him. We crank it up and sing it super loud. It's so much fun."
So ends a really good day for Billy. He's got his Buddy the Elf costume, listening to some Vanilla Ice on the radio while doing his homework, as his mom has left him with a sitter to attend the Women's Democrat meeting to talk about how we're all going to get cancer if the Health Care Bill is overturned. Okay, maybe his day wasn't so perfect... he did kill a roach in the kitchen to finish the day off and fed it to the cat.
The cat didn't eat it :-). He thought about it, but called an audible and instead went upstairs to use the litter box.
Silly cat.
