TODAY'S CAR CONVERSATION ABOUT HALLOWEEN

(In the car after school today, a conversation about Halloween.)

MissNine: Halloween!

Mr13: What about it?

MissNine: I'm so excited for it! What costume are you going to wear?

Mr13: I'm not wearing a costume. I'm too old to go trick-or-treating.

MissNine: Oh, that's not true! Even 38-year-olds go trick-or-treating!

Mr13: They do not.

MissNine: They do if they're drunk!

Mr13: (exasperated) Mom...

Me: It's possible, I suppose.

MissNine: Every day, I WIN!
