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.

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!
