Returned BOO – Wordless Wednesday

IMG_2767

Dear neighbor who returned our BOO,

I drove past your house after we went BOOing in the neighborhood and noticed the Halloween bowl on your front bushes. Even though we don’t know you, we thought you would be into the whole BOO thing because your house is one of the most Halloween decorated houses in the neighborhood. You know you could have just kept the goodies and not BOOed anyone else or better yet just used all my BOO stuff and put it on someone else’s doorstep. Even though you have made it clear to the world just how LAME you are I wanted to say thank you for returning our BOO. Now we get to go BOOing again!!

Smooches,

Your holiday loving neighbors!

    It’s just wrong! I think of some other things we can leave on their doorstep 😉

    People are idiots.
    If I were you I would knock on their door with all the kids and ask them WHY they didn’t accept your generous gift?

      I could never get the nerve to do that so we just point out the house every time we drive by and announce that they “returned our BOO.” Now the kiddos point it out. “They we-tuwned owr BOO!”

      I never thought of that! Since we don’t know them, we thought maybe they were older but Brad saw them soon after and it was a young mom with a little girl!

      Ha! They didn’t know, they just put it out on their front bushes with the note. We did have fun BOOing again. Our first year and I hope to continue it as the kiddos get older.

    What the heck! That is seriously lame of them. Exactly what you said – they could have just put it on someone elses doorstep or just said thank you. That note is so annoying!!

    Let me tell you – if we were neighbors I would have been booing ya right back! so fun!
