Trick or Treat!

I had forgotten about Halloween!  (No wonder, since the stores put out their candy so early.)  When I told this to my friend, they decided to come over, decorate my porch, and put their own candy pile out for me, for any kids who happened to come past my house. 

I live so far out of town that my street had not been a popular Trick or Treat destination in past years.  This year, though, we had almost 30 kids come by; or about 15 groups, anyway.  It was all candy that I'd never pick for myself, because I mostly like chocolate, not the sour candy my friend likes. 

The little kids were so perfect!  Some really tiny ones—pre-schoolers, I would guess—would bend down to study the candy bowl, which we had placed on the top step of my stoop, at close quarters, and pick a piece or two, and then stand up and make some unintelligible pronouncement, and her adults would thank us for the candy, and the kid would repeatedly call out Happy Halloween, as they walked away!  It was very cute, and hilarious at the same time!  Anyone who hasn't watched 'T or T' should definitely try it next year!  (Some people leave the bowl of candy out, and go inside and watch TV, which is stupid, because the little kids are way more entertaining than TV could ever be.)

Well, hope you guys had a good time, anyway!
