Halloween compulsiveness
I am a compulsive Halloween Toy button presser.
You would think I would have grown up by now, but at age 55, I am worse than ever.
I can't walk by those things without pressing ALL the buttons.
Oh, and all in unison.
Whether it be a drug store, grocery store, or wherever...no moaning, singing, howling toy is left untouched.

Should I see a specialist?

1. No specialist, but ... Have you seen those voice modifiers?
You can sound like an alien or like a monster. They're so cool!

3. NO WAY! I must check them out so I can freak out my parrot!
So I need to actually STAY in the section to browse before I go pressing buttons next time?

4. Do you own, or have you ever given as a gift
a singing fish? If not, you are absolved. Otherwise, seek help.

5. The singing fish never did it for me.
I feel better, thanks.
