I was in the store a while ago with Potassium and he saw the big display of tiny candies and while he loaded up, he kept exclaiming how much he loved Halloween candy.
Friends, it was July.
The best part is, I can’t even blame him for thinking it was almost Halloween because of all of the ghost and skull decorations all over our living space. I can’t imagine why….
Oh wait, maybe it’s because I’m absolutely obsessed with A New Lease On Death coming out Oct 29 (just in time for Halloween!).
