same! i mean the 7th grade thing cuz' we don't really like halloween to much. (mostly the trick r' treaters!) here's a story for you guys, last year (and most of the years before that) we invited our friends and stuff then coiled the lock on the gate of our house so no one could open it then we would say "ya hear that?.. exactly!"🤣
