Oh, for heaven's sake, don't kill him. Sheesh. My Josh character is about to begin to try to think of some trick to play on the stuck up snob who refused him treats. Perhaps your Aragorn son of Arathorn could help him....or hinder him....

Chuckling at the idea of a 28ish Becca becoming an old lady...

I guess I can change her age. Or assume that young trick'r'treaters see anyone over 17 as 'old.'

I dunno, when I was only thirteen or so little kids thought I was a teacher because I was so tall. Not to mention my maturity level at that age was very high.

So it's possible that they would think Becca is old, even though she's only 28ish.

Quite true. I gave a presentation to a class of second graders earlier this year. When they heard I was 22, they commented on my advancing years.

It's all a matter of perspective.

She's going to stay 28.

Last year some of the fifth graders I tutored thought one of the kindergarteners I taught was my very own.

This year I've been confused as faculty (technically admin, but that's just complicated) at my school many times.

When I went Christmas shopping with my mum, a few old ladies thought I was like 14.

Age is relative.

Yeah but my 12 year old (who started out as a 16 year old

) should know better. I'll edit when I get a chance.

To let you know, Tish is probably going to end up in a battle for her life and/or the world in general against some canonical baddie (yet to be determined) left over from the 3rd and 4th Ages.

At the very least, she'll encounter ghosts.

It's Halloween. She's Tish. I can't help myself.

Oh my, I could have her encounter the ghost of The Professor himself. Oh the possibilities of a dark graveyard this night are endless.

We'll just have to see, oh yes, we will.
