Oh yeah, it's Hallowe'en

[den]

The doorbell rang, and when I opened the front door I was confronted by a 8 year old kid wearing vampire teeth, a black cape, and a viking helmet with horns. He was holding a plastic axe.

"Trick or treat!" he said.

I blinked at him. "What?"

"Trick or treat."

"What's that mean?"

"umm... You give me lollies."

"Why?"

"Cos it's hallowe'en!"

I blinked at him again. "Riiight. Sorry, I don't have any lollies. I have bananas if you like them."

"Ugh. No thanks!"

"Garlic saussage? Liverwurst?"

"EW!"

"Sorry mate. That's all I have."

"Okay!" and off skipped the world's only vampire viking.

Since when have we done Hallowe'en here?

I'd have accepted the banana! They're more instant-gratification than lollies are. Unless you're the kind of person that crunches up the candy bit and it's all gone in seconds.

I'm hoping against hope that this neighborhood is low on kids. Because then the box of Nestle minis is all mine.
