Years ago,
one of my neighbors had this Halloween decoration
hanging on their front door that said
“THE WITCH IS IN”
and I considered knocking on their door
hoping they’d answer so I could be all,

is the most exhausting thing ever,
especially when considering the possibility
an actual witch is involved.
