Mischief/Cabbage/Devils Night

Some of you may have read the title of this post and not have a CLUE as to what I’m referring to. However, some of you, PROBABLY those from New Jersey, know exactly what I’m talking about.

Last night at dinner (the night before Halloween), my two friends who went to high school together asked us what we should do for Mischief Night. Everyone looked at each other, extremely confused and then all asked at the same exact time: “What the HELL is Mischief Night?” The two of them, who grew up together in New Jersey, were completely dumbfounded at the fact that this concept was not a worldly renowned holiday that everyone is aware of. “You know…Mischief Night? Some people call it Cabbage or Devils Night?”

Still no repsonse.

“All the teenagers run around town egging and toiletpapering everyone’s houses and destroying anything they can without the police catching them? It’s AWESOME.”

Still nothing.

So Hillary, who’s FREAKING out that know one knows what she’s talking about, gets up on her chair in the middle of dinner and screams: HELLOOOO I HAVE AN ANNOUNCMENT. RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU’VE HEARD OF MISCHEIF NIGHT.

About five people raise their hand…low and behold, ALL are from New Jersey!

WOWEE! Who knew that New Jersey is filled with freaks that like to vandalize things on the night before Halloween. Not I!

 

Ha! All the pictures that come up when I type Mischief Night into Googlimages are from New Jersey!
