The Perfect Gentleman Issue 8 - Halloween | Page 20

For one thing, Jewish or not, I hope knocking on
the door of strangers for candy will not be one
of them. Nor that bloody severed human limbs
are entreating. Another thing I would like my
two tiny gentlemen to learn is that more often
the not the living are much scarier than the
dead will ever be. And the strange loner down
the street could be more monstrous than any
apocalyptic zombie that may be hiding under
their bed at night. I do agree that bringing a
positive spin of death, with an exception of
gruesome murders, thanking our ancestors for
their fruits of labour and acknowledging there
journeys is a good idea.

As the older generation of gentlemen have to
face the passing of their beloved parents, and
the younger generation their first hand
experience for losing a grandparent and some
untimely deaths of their friends and relatives,
Halloween may be helping us all, young, old
and older to deal with this natural part of life. As
a Mother, not only do I carry the tremendous
responsibility to teach my sons to respect the
women in their lives, but also pave the way for
them to raise their own sons to be the perfect
gentleman.

Oíche Shamhna Shona Daoibh!
