Earl

This is my (amelia phillips) favorite image for a couple of reasons...

I had been having a rough day at work and after finishing up late I was on my way to Spanish class. As I rounded the curve to arrive at the school, I see Earl waving his bloody knife in his underwear and mask at people passing by his driveway. I immediately pull over and introduce myself, and for the next 20 minutes he tells me about his costumes, his sister and what he's planning on wearing for the actual holiday, all while warding off the passing cars.

Earl made my month that day. And every time I look at this photo it makes me smile that Earl's favorite holiday is Halloween and he starts dressing up every day a month beforehand in celebration (this was taken October 3rd).

Earl. If I have a kid, I want him to do this.
