| Is it a trick or a treat? |
In my
neighborhood on Halloween many kids come to my door and yell, “Trick or Treat!”
In the spirit of tradition, I open my door with a smile and drop candy into
their buckets. I have never had any of the trick or treaters surprise me with a
“trick.” However, my kids never fail me in that area. It doesn’t even have to be
Halloween for them to trick me.
My recent
experience wasn’t directly a trick; it was more a result of an act of omission.
I made sloppy Joe for dinner and there was plenty left over for the next day. As
I prepared to eat another Sloppy Joe I discovered… somebody had eaten the last
hamburger bun! This was on the same level as eating the last of something and
returning the empty container to the shelf.
I improvised
and ate my Sloppy Joe on a hot dog bun. The kids so called trick turned out to
be a treat for me.
What is one
of your favorite Trick or Treat stories?
