But 2015 will probably be remembered as Stella's least favorite Halloween.
Stella's troubles began near the corner of 3rd Street and 6th Avenue. That's where we lost her.
Stella wandered off for a second to get another trick-or-treat candy just as the rest of us headed off in another direction. About a block later I noticed that Stellie wasn't with us. We quickly backtracked to the last place we saw her and fanned out to locate her. A minute later I received a call on the cell phone from an unknown number, but the call dropped. Probably Stella. Right after that I got a call from Lisa saying she had found her.
The weepy Stella told us that she asked the owners of the house she was in front of to use their cell phone to call us. Meanwhile, Marni told us that she saw Stella heading off in another direction but just didn't bother to tell anyone. Sisterly love.
And the night only got worse for poor Stella a few minutes later when she bit into a Tootsie Roll and pulled out a tooth!
We gave up on trick-or-treating at this point and regrouped at home. Later in the evening we recovered enough from our trauma and drama to go out and watch the annual Park Slope Halloween Parade.
