Halloween was a week ago yet Darah was walking around the mall with a plastic jack-o-lantern today.

Let's start at the beginning. Darah loves Mickey Mouse. She also loves Pluto, Minnie, Daisy, Donald, and Goofy too. A few months ago we got Darah small Mickey and Pluto stuffed animals at the Disney store. Ever since then, Mickey and Pluto have been inseparable from her. Mickey and Pluto eat all meals with her, go on car trips with her, watch TV with her, and of course go to bed with her. First thing in the morning, Darah calls out for Mickey... then calls out for Mom second after she realizes that he's already in bed with her.

Then Darah's posse grew. Over the summer Wendy's began giving out little U.B. Funkeys bobblehead dolls with kids meals. One of these dolls is a stylized Wendy character. Last week Darah rediscovered this toy and named it Red. So now Red also goes everywhere with Mickey and Pluto.

On Halloween last week, Darah didn't go trick-or-treating but she did find a plastic jack-o-lantern that she claimed as her own. Apparently Mickey, Pluto, and Red must live inside the it because now she won't go anywhere without all three dolls together inside the jack-o-lantern. And hence Darah walking around the mall today looking as if she were hoping it would be Halloween forever.
