Trick or Treat Treat

Nov 03 2008

Hallowe’en night, passing out candy. Little Bo PeepI 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.

    Judging from her reaction, I probably wasn’t the first.

    A couple of guys came by in women’s clothing, they were maybe 12 or so, perhaps a little old. So I asked about the costume. Rather than the expected “I’m a woman, dork” reply, they struck poses and one said, “I’m sexy!” The other rubbed himself saying he was all natural. I just about bust a gut, and they walked away with a couple of handfuls of my candy.

    But I agree with Greg, you _did_ walk into that one Steve!
