Salem, Massachusetts -
Miranda Rogers, 28, says she was "extremely depressed" and "mildly disturbed" to learn that Halloween lights and decorations are not supposed to be permanent home decor, after her parents visited her new apartment last week.
"Miranda had orange lights, inflatable ghosts, plastic pumpkins, and fake spiderwebs everywhere," said Carl Rogers, 52. "I know we raised her better than that. Skulls with flashing light eyes? I overlooked those bizarre things when she was a teen living at home, but this is just ridiculous."
Miranda moved into her first solo apartment just over a month ago, after a stint in college and then living with roommates for the last few years. She said she was excited to finally decorate the way she always wanted to, but that her parents really shook her to the core with their revelation.
"It doesn't say anything on the box that the lights must only be hung through the month of October," said Miranda, near tears. "I love this stuff. 'Halloween 365' has always been my motto! I'm seriously crushed right now."
"I just want to have some damn grandchildren before I die," said Miranda's mother, Pamela Rogers, 50. "No guy is going to come to this apartment and want to have sex with her. At least not a guy who is going to be good father material. It's time for her to grow up."
Miranda said that she would reluctantly remove the ghosts and pumpkins, but had "serious reservations" about getting rid of her Halloween lighting scheme.
