Didn't Daddy Byron dress you up as the Black Ghost for Halloween too?
No, Daddy Byron never dressed us up for Halloween. That was harvest time, don'tcha know.
And though I wasn't a black ghost, I was a different breed of ghosty one year. I didn't have any plain white sheets, and the only kind that were suitable for custumin' (that we didn't use fer me bed) was a white sheet with red polka dots all over it.
I was disappointed that I couldn't be a reg'lar ol' normal ghost, but Mommy Byron said that we could pretend the red spots were measels. So I wore that, Mommy Byron painted half muh face red and the other half green, and, ladies and gentleman (and bears and chickens and things),
One Halloween night, Byron went out as "a seasick ghost with the measels".
We even have piccies as proof---well, at least 1, anyway...
