Just when we thought we were safe from ghouls and monsters here in the peaceful country of Switzerland, they decided to invade and did it successfully, lol!
Halloween night, October 31st, 2007, 18:56, i'm just about to jump in the shower to wash off the day and the Satan worshiper out of my hair (know what i mean, Allie?!) when the door bell rings. I kick the door of the bathroom closed with one foot, the other's already in the tub. I hear my husband shuffle to the door but then the water comes down from the shower and drowns any further sound. I leisurely begin my shower.
A few minutes later, the door of the bathroom opens, i hear a couple of foot steps and the shower curtain flings open. My husband's head pokes itself into the shower. He's grinning. "Is it Halloween tonight?" he asks. "Yeeeees?" i answer as i continue my shower. "Ah! That's what that was about then!" he exclaims, "You know who was at the door just now?" he asks me. "Noooooo?" i say. "There were three kids, all dressed funny and with masks on their faces and as i opened the door they yelled "Suesses oder Saueres", so i thought, oh, shit, what do we have in the house, then i remembered the chocolate mouslies we bought that i don't like, so i gave them all to the kids....they were happy!"
So we got our first ever official trick-or-treaters! First time for me since i came to Switzerland and first time for my husband, who's lived his whole life in Switzerland! I told him he should have saved some of those mice in case more kids come, but it was not to be. Those three is all we got! I was excited though. Even though Halloween is not my favourite holiday of the year, i kind of missed giving candy out to the little ghosts and witches. It's fun and i'm glad we got invaded! Next year i'll make sure we've got some goodies around on October 31st. Who knows, maybe we'll get four kids at the door!
