In spite of our best marketing efforts (front door decoration, freshly supplied candy and a special word addressing each and every visiting group) we failed to break records.
For a while we began self-flagellation and promised to do much better next year, like me (the door opener and distributor) dressing with cool clothes, donning a hair-piece with long dreadlocks, wearing a short-sleeve shirt showing a full tattooed arm, you name it…
That’s when I suddenly realized that the reason for this dreadful showing was the total absence of Latina families with their small kids, all held hostage by the fear of Trump’s ICE and his goons.
Well, another three “dry” years ahead!
