An activity our church does every year is Trunk-or-Treat for the kids. I didn't get the opportunity to blog about it yet. But I stumbled upon this picture today and had to share the story.
Around the church parking lot, cars line up with their trunks or hatchbacks open to offer candy to children in costume. Many people spend hours decorating their trunks, hoping to be the best attraction of the night. But there is a group of guys that always wins. A couple years ago, they backed up a pickup-truck and dressed as hillbillies. They had bluegrass music playing, lawn chairs and trash all over the bed of the truck, and one of the girls was "pregnant" with missing teeth. They always take the cake. This year, they didn't bother with a trunk. They walked in, fashionably late, with their shopping carts and set up in the middle of it all. They sat down with their coffee cups, dirty clothes, and trash bags and very much looked the "homeless" part they were portraying. They even purposely spilled their candy out on the ground for the kids. It was a big laugh, even if they did show me up. And no, I'm not bitter.
