(6:30 p.m. A dark and stormy night)
Me: Time to trick-or-treat! Hooray!
Green: I think I only want to go around the block this year.
Me: WHAT?!
Green: I want to go around the block and then go home and hand out candy.
Me: What's the matter with you? Are you sick?!
Green: Mommy, this the season of giving! And I want to give!
Me: No, Green, you’re thinking about Christmas. This is the season of getting, of taking. It’s the season of GREED!
Green: I want to go home.
Me: (heavy sigh). Blue, would you like to score tons of candy with me while your brother goes home and practices being generous?
Blue: Yes!
Me: I think you must be the kid who’s related to me. That other one, I don’t know where he came from.
(A half hour later)
Blue (getting whiny): Mommy, you need to help me carry this bucket of candy. It’s overflowing, and it’s too heavy for me.
Me: Blue, you should never complain about being too rich, too successful, or too full of candy. You were very good at getting all those ladies to pour their entire bowls of goodies into this bucket. Remember that one house where you got something like 20 Starbursts!?
Blue: It’s just too heavy. I’m done trick-or-treating. I want to go home and give out candy with Green.
Me (shrieking): Spreading the wealth!? Are you crazy? What are you, a Socialist?
Blue: Mommy, I think you might need a time out.
