My Daughter-in-Law Decorated Her House for Halloween with Witches Dressed to Look Like Me, Joking, ‘I Had to Warn the Neighbors About What Real Evil Is!’

When my daughter-in-law Blythe turned me into the neighborhood villain with Halloween decorations that resembled me as a witch, I decided to respond with kindness.

Rather than confront her, I decorated my yard with friendly pumpkins, cheerful ghosts, and a candy station with warm cider and pumpkin painting for kids. On Halloween, I dressed as a fairy godmother and welcomed the children with goodies and magic tricks, creating a joyful atmosphere that drew them away from Blythe’s spooky setup.

Watching the kids’ laughter and excitement—and Blythe’s frustrated glance from her empty yard—was the best kind of payback. It reminded me that kindness, not revenge, truly wins in the end.
