that's funny as shit.

our halloween went like this:

why isn't anyone stopping by?

ding dong

sorry it's raining, take all the candy you want. no really. a biiig handful. there ya go! stay dry and be safe!

well, that was one person, you think anyone else is out in this mess?

etc. we ended up with a total of four visits. and one group wasn't even in costume.

sigh.

what was really funny was the last kid turned around to his parents who were waiting at the curb and hollered, "HEY MOM, CAN I HAVE A DOG??". And both parents yelled back, "NO!!".

I tried.
