#8: Happy Halloween
The number of scary possibilities is so overwhelming that I’m finding myself experiencing levels of anxiety that are not appropriate for someone merely observing the situation. For all I know, this card was received with complete calm and utter good humor, providing a pleasant moment of laughter amid the trick-or-treating.
Yet, when I see it all I can think about is what if the person it’s given to actually wants a child and reacts with delight, what if the person giving it actually is pregnant but doesn’t know. This Halloween could end very differently than intended and not because someone got a fright.
