Halloween was… different this year. We had excellent weather, and everything was finally open. Also, since when does Halloween fall on a Sunday. We did all kinds of fun stuff over the weekend.
So, Sunday night we decided to go to Hauntstreet. These wonderful Jesus followers host the best home Haunted walk through in Mesa, AZ. So this is my shameless plug for their show. Great show guys!
We were heading home at a reasonable hour and my three boys were rocking the car they were so hyped. I was riding shotgun, and had just turned around and told them it’s time to calm down, listen to the music and relax so they could sleep when they got home. They were splitting a box of DOTS chewing away loudly in the back seat.
All of the sudden I heard my six year old take a huge involuntary mouth breath diagonally behind my left shoulder, and somehow my brain had enough sense to blink hard. Six year old goes, “——–Pstchoooooooooooooo,” in the wettest and stickiest open mouth pre COVID kids style sneeze you’ve ever heard in your life. My eyes were still closed and for a brief moment my entire brain checked the heck out. I was 100% convinced I was not in reality, this could NOT have happened.
Oh but it did. I had little pieces of yellow and orange DOTS stuck on the arm rest of my car, in the little hairs on my arm, on my cheek, all over the inside of the windshield, my hair, nose, eyebrow my entire left shoulder in a space between the seats DOTS shrapnel pieces. But how can 2 little DOTS become such a mess, they must’ve multiplied in air…
My entire being wanted to cry, but I was so exhausted that all I could do was laugh hysterically. For hours after we got home, I kept repeating, “he sneezed DOTS on me,” as if I was a traumatized gunshot victim. What a mess. I’m still finding DOTS pieces in my car, so gross.
