Roll With It

Dear Connor,

Happy Halloween! This year, you were Officer Connor:


You've done the trick-or-treating thing five times now but I'm not sure you fully understand it because when we were out collecting candy today, you kept entering stores and asking the employees, "Are you selling candy?" I kept telling you that you should ask, "Are you giving away candy?" but you kept saying "selling." I understand the confusion, though; we buy things from stores 364 days out of the year, why this weird holiday where all the stores give away candy for free?

Of course, you're not one to turn away free candy . . . unless it's candy you don't like. You're pretty picky when it comes to candy (butterscotch Dum Dums and chocolate only!) so if a store or house was giving away something you didn't want, you either declined it (haha, how often do people giving away candy see that?!) or gave it to your sister (as a result, MuiMui had a huuuuge stash of candy at the end of the night). You scored a pretty good number of chocolate bars and Dum Dums and you had an incredibly large amount of Tootsie Rolls--37 in fact. I asked you where you got so many Tootsie Rolls and you said, "From that store. The guys said I could take as many as I want." And well, you did! Hahaha!

Love,
Mom
