Broadcaster Press 5 November 8, 2016 www.broadcasteronline.com The Halloween Surprise By Daris Howard One day I was visiting with my friend, Tim, and his wife, Sally, and I asked them how they met. Tim looked at Sally, and an embarrassed grin spread across his face. “Maybe I should let Sally tell the story,” he said. Sally laughed. “I’d be happy to. You see, when we were in high school, Tim and my twin brother, David, were best friends. The problem is, I kind of liked Tim, but he didn’t even know I existed.” “That’s not totally true,” Tim said. “I knew you were David’s sister. I’ll admit I didn’t pay much attention beyond that, but I did know you were his sister.” “Did you even know my name?” Sally asked. Tim shrugged. “I didn’t need to. I just called you ‘David’s sister.’” “Anyway,” Sally continued, “a Halloween party was coming up, and I really wanted to go, especially since I knew Tim would be there. I asked David if he could give me a ride, and he told me he was going with Tim. I begged to go, and he finally said he was sure it would be okay if I didn’t bug them or say anything. So, to be funny, I decided that I would go as a mime so I couldn’t say anything. “Halloween was on a Saturday that year. Tim was scheduled to pick David up at about six o’clock. But earlier in the day, David came down with a bad case of the flu and could hardly get out of bed. I didn’t know if I was still going to be able to go to the party or not. And to add to that, David told me he had forgotten to ask Tim if I could catch a ride. David said he was too sick to call Tim and cancel, so I could just ask Tim for a ride when he came.” “But she didn’t,” Tim interjected. “I’m getting there,” Sally said. “Realizing Tim didn’t know I was planning on going, and that ing I was,” Sally said, “I felt like slapping his he also didn’t realize David wasn’t, I decided face. But instead, I just ignored him the rest to have a little fun. I stuffed my shoulders and of the night.” tried to make myself look as masculine as I “And I couldn’t figure out what was wrong could. I also really put on the mime paint to with David,” Tim said. “Obviously, he wasn’t hide my looks.

I didn’t figure it all out “I was a bit annoyed that Tim couldn’t tell until the next day when David thanked me for I was a girl,” Sally said. “Even as much as I giving Sally a ride to the party.” worked to look like a boy, I still expected he “Then what did you do?” I asked. would eventually realize I was, but he never “He brought me some flowers and an apoldid.
