A Belated Report on Halloween

I am a complete pushover when it comes to peer pressure. Despite how much I talked about not doing anything for Halloween, we still decided to dress Winston up as a green dragon and went trick-or-treating around College Terrace area, which is on the edge of Stanford campus. Of course he had no clue what was going on, but he was welcome at every house.

When we came to one house with the door open, we knocked. A young woman came by, and then went back inside to report that it was a boy trick-or-treating. Suddenly a lot of young people came out, apparently partying at the time. The person in front was Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook. I was so taken back that I probably stared at him a little bit. He was praising Winston to be the cutest dragon ever. We got some candies, thanked them and left.

Afterwards, when I watched Michael’s video, I almost laughed. The minute he caught Mark Zuckerberg on camera, it dropped, presumably due to his surprise. Then he picked it up again, and Mark Zuckerberg noticed it. He hesitated for a split second and decided to ignore it and laugh with Winston instead.

By the way, for those who have seen the movie “Social Network”, I have to comment that the real life Mark Zuckerberg is better looking than the actor. That usually does not happen, except in the cases of “Social Network” and “Sylvia”.

Winston got to meet Mark Zuckerberg at his first Halloween! Yeah!
