Ghosts Of Halloween Past

A few Halloweens ago, when my sons were...oh, about 15, 15 and 13 years old, they dressed up and got together with the usual gang of friends who all met at our house to start trick-or-treating together in the neighborhood. I thought it would be fun to send the video camera with them. They thought that would be a blast! Little did I know what they were going to cook up.

After about 3 hours they came back (about a group of 7 of them) to my house, exhausted, happy, and proceded to dump all their candy out on the living room floor and started sorting through it. They were all "Ohhhing" and "Ahhhing" over the 'good stuff.' Bartering with each other for the other guys 'good stuff'. All the typical kid things they had done since they were all very little. I remember watching and thinking how cute they all were. How sometimes they still were little boys no matter how old they got, and how some things never change. Oh how wrong THAT thought was going to be.

They were all occupied and I noticed the camera sitting on the kitchen bar. I picked it up and rewound the tape. Just as I started to watch the tape (on the little camera screen) one of the boys freaked!... "DUDE, your mom has the camera!" 7 boys froze briefly before it started....."Mom... Mom.... Ms. Mac.... put the camera down," came a jumbled chorus of voices. Pleading, laughing, nervous, frantic, voices.

Oh yea.. like THAT was going to happen. Pfft! No way! I had to fight them off before I finally got them to all chill and let me see the tape. Two of the guys wanted to go home. "FREEZE." I ordered. I wasn't sure what I was going to see. Part of me was very worried. Had they egged a house? Vandalized something? TP'd a house? or something worse? I was sure as hell gonna find out.

I started the tape back up again, but this time I had 7 boys crowded around waiting. "Oh man, I can't believe she's gonna watch this...""YOU left the camera there, dude.".....and other similar comments whispered around while the tape rolled on......

The group had apparently gone and gotten one of the guy's younger brother to take trick-or-treating.... Little bro is the ONLY one in the group that is going up to the doors. The rest of the group is staying back and apparently filming/watching. So far, I don't see anything amiss.. Little Bro is trick-or-treating.

(Camera on...) "Little Bro" rings doorbell, gets candy, says thank you, leaves....(camera off) After watching him go up to about 2 houses, they try to tell me that's all that's on the tape. Yea, right. Do I look like I just came out of the pumpkin patch?

...........................Then IT happens.

"Little bro" rings doorbell. A mom opens the door. "Hi Mrs. 'X'," says the older brother who is the camera man, standing back from the front door. "Hi, 'A', you guys back again?" says the nice (oh so innocent mommie) to the camera man. Hmm.. seems they've hit this house already.."We brought my little brother says the camera man.

"Hi, "little a" the mommie says to the small one at the door. And then the truth is revealed..... As the oooh so unsuspecting Mommie leans over to put candy in "Little A's" bucket..... The cameraman slowly pushes the button and the camera zooms in. Way in. Trick-or-treat 16 year old style. Can you say eye candy? Trick-or-Treat! Can you say cleavage?! Not ordinary cleavage either. Into the valley and beyond kinda cleavage... Lucky she doesn't put an eye out kinda cleavage.... Lose a small puppy in there kinda cleavage. You get the idea.

I also notice the video is kinda shaking, but then so am I. I'm trying really hard to be the "mom" and disapprove but it's a lost cause, any minute now I'm gonna bust out laughing.... the little pervs. Oh, but it doesn't stop there.

Mr. Cameraman starts talking to the nice (totally clueless) Mommie as she is bent over handing out candy to more little ones arriving at the door. The camera still trained on the cleavage revealed by the low scoop neck shirt... The camera zooms in and out a bit, and in and out a bit, then moves from one (ahem) mound to the other.

"Gee Mrs. "X", the house looks nice with the uhh pumpkins," he says, or something equally suave from a 16 year old..... I can't hear the rest cause frankly, I have just lost it. I am completely cracking up at this. Camera man keeps talking, stalling for time. There are more kids coming to the door. And guess what... "Mrs. "X" needs to get the bowl with more candy that's sitting on the hall table behind her. She turns to walk a few steps to get the candy. The camera lowers and then focuses in again, this time on her ass, tight ~ the camera focus, her jeans and her ass. All real tight.

As she returns, she bends over again still oblivious to the little Hugh Hefners. There is the frantic movement and whispering that can be heard coming from behind the camera man. It seems his finger slipped and he can't find the zoom button to focus... I am hysterical by now and the boys are all laughing, horrified at being found out in this. Alas, being only 16 he could only come up with so many suave things to say and they had leave to continue with the trick-or treating. They didn't score like that again.I still have the tape... lol. And every year I ask if any of them are dressing as Hugh Hefner.
