There's a Halloween store called Spirit. It used to be a good store to take the kids to buy Halloween stuff but nowadays it's just too scary for two out of the three Geek Kids. They have things like zombie babies and displays set up where the animatronic characters yell inappropriate things at you ("I'm gonna chop your head off!") or spit blood or whatever.
It's really just too much.
That being said, every day when I go to pick up my oldest son at school, we drive by a Spirit and the youngest always points it and makes everyone look. Yesterday we went in there to buy this shield and sword for my middle son's costume and I had to hide Four's eyes all the way through the store.
Today we drove by and happily (as usual) he yells from the backseat: "Spirit!"
"Yes," I say. "It is."
Four (still smiling): "Yeah! Can we never ever go there again?"
