Conversation with Aimee
A: Do you think we'll get trick-or-treaters? C: Is today Halloween? I bought candy just to have something cheap to toss their way. No trick-or-treaters came. Still an improvement over the suburb where kids rode driveway to driveway in the parents' SUV.
A: We're in an apartment building. Do you think we'll get trick-or-treat'ers?
C: *checks calendar* Is today Halloween?
I bought candy just so that I'd have something cheap to toss their way. *Merry Christmas. Here's a USB hard drive. It's all I have. Sorry.*
No trick-or-treat'ers.
This is an improvement over my previous home, in a suburb, where the kids rode from driveway to driveway in the parents' SUV. Back then, all I wanted to do was throw the candy as far as I could and yell, "fetch!"
I don't know if I'll ever marry; and I don't know if I'll ever have kids; and I don't know if I'll let those kids go trick-or-treat'ing, but I DO KNOW that they - should they go trick-or-treat'ing - will walk.
