It's Over

Halloween is over for another year. Nothing left except a million calories worth of candy. Erin and Steve took Alivia trick-or-treating while I stayed and passed out candy. Actually, I passed out cool pencils with cool erasers and candy. There was this one bunch of kids, older elementary, who came by with their parents. As I put a pencil in each bag, I told the kids to wait that there was candy too. One of the older boys replied, "That's smart that you give the pencils first cause nobody would wait for a pencil, but they would wait for the candy." One of the girls said that her teacher would love me because she never has enough pencils. When I responded that I was a teacher, the first young man immediately went into student mode. "Yeah, I really like the pencil too. I mean the candy is good, but I really like the pencil." Funny moments earlier he said he wouldn't have waited for a pencil. Maybe teachers are the scariest things on Halloween.
