Hallowe’en night, passing out candy.
I really hate that job, but it’s better than having your house egged. If I must do it, I try to have some fun with it. As the kids come to the door, I make comments about their costumes and guess who they are. This one young girl was wearing a white frilly dress, had a long blonde wig, and was carrying this long stick that looked kind of like a cane.
I asked, “Nice costume, but who are you?”
She proudly replied, “I’m Bo Peep!”
Being clever, I asked, “Oh right, so where’s your sheep?”
Rolling her eyes she retorted, “Little Bo Peep lost her sheep!”
Silly me.
