This from his house, across town. As of lights out, his paw-rents have had about 90 trick or treaters. I had 8. Sigh.
Prisoner: "I want out." "No, in." "No, out." "No, in."
Best interaction with a child? I asked the little girl on my doorstep who she was, and she replied, quite literally, "I'm your neighbor!" Her mother at the foot of the steps and I both started to laugh, "No, I meant who is your costume?"
"Oh, I'm Wednesday." Of course she was. It was a great Wednesday Addams costume, and I was embarrassed that I didn't recognize it at once!
Unfortunately, only 8 trick or treaters came, in total, so I'm going to have to find someplace to give a lot of candy away... I'm thinking the hair cutting place!
Life is good! Keep Sparking!
It's those literal comments that make the little ones sooo much fun!! They are also incredibly honest!
ReplyDeleteCarl stands guard. Kitty, being curious, didn't want to miss anything.
Love it!
Happy Wednesday! 🤗💕
I do so love a good child conversation! They are indeed literal, but so ready to learn!
DeleteWe got zero!

😔Sad face. Another tradition slowly morphing / ending?
DeleteWell done Carl! Well, Wednesday did say once at Halloween that she was dressed as a homicidal maniac and they look like everyone else, so she was right both times - LOL.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, homicidal maniacs look like "everyman"!
DeleteWe were spare as well with kids. They didn't start until after 5 and ended at 8. I was used to the kiddos starting right after school. Times have changed.
ReplyDeleteI've too much candy left over.
Me, too. Got rid of about half the excess yesterday, sending the chips home with Alicia! More to go, though. If I can hide it from myself long enough, the lawn mowers come next Tuesday...
DeleteThat little girl sounds like cutie! Yup . . . it's a conundrum what to do w/the candy. Sounds like a good idea to bring it to the hair salon.
ReplyDeletehugs and good job, Carl!

I'm still smiling over my "Wednesday" visitor!
DeleteHow cute what the little girl said. We didn't do Halloween this year, but we could hear kids outside.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day! (((BIG HUGS)))
There are years when it's the better part of valor to just "not" do a holiday. Hope all's well, and you have a good Friday ahead!
