Trick or Treat, Mr. Booster

"Last year for Halloween, Tommy dressed up like his favorite character from "Star Wars" he was chubaca, yes, that big hairy fellow." He begged his mother this year to let him dress up like Chubaca, again, and his mother tried to convince him to do a different character this year for Halloween. Tommy's, father overheard this conversation between Tommy and his mother as he sat in his recliner drinking a beer and looking at the Bears play the Cowboys. Tommy's father yelled to his mother, "Leave him alone, let the boy be whatever he wants, Gina."

"Yes, mom, let me do what I want sometimes." said Tommy. "Okay, what is it you want to do?" asked Gina. "I want to go out and play with my friends." explained, Tommy." "Yes, let the boy grow up, he's 13 years old, stop being so overbearing, like my mother used to be with me." said Don, Tommy's father. "Okay, go out and play with your friends, Tommy, just remember you have school in the morning so come back in before 7pm. said Gina." "Tommy, ran out of the house as fast as he could as if to make it out before his mother changes her mind."

"Tommy runs up to his friends Peter, Artie and Eric who were out behind the big oak tree across the street." "The boys were standing in a huddle, sneaking a cigarette that Peter stole out of his mothers purse." 'Yes, the Pine street boys were trouble to their parents, Tommy was the only goody two shoes of the bunch and the other boys always teased him about it." "Hey, guys where did you get that cigarette?" asked Tommy."

"I stole it out of my moms purse, the old witch didn't have a clue." said Peter. "Well, I don't want to get caught around you guys smoking, I'm going home." said Tommy. "There he goes, Mr. Goody two shoes, just don't go squealing to your mom about seeing us smoking, she'll just tell our mothers at one of those cackling hen cosmetic parties." said Artie, sarcastically.

"No, he'll just run over to his buddy Mr. Boosters house down the street." said Eric. "His name is Mr. Brewster and he's a nice man, he helped save my dog max, when he got hit by a car last year." Explained Tommy. "He's a scary old looking fart, with a patch over his eye." said Eric. "Yeah, I heard he killed his family and buried them in his backyard, that's why he lives alone." said Peter.

"That's not true, his daughter lives in Boise, Idaho, and she hasn't spoken to him in years and his wife died of a heart attack 2 years ago." Explained Tommy. "How do you know this stuff, Tommy?"
