Halloween mistakes

This year we had about 40 trick-or-treaters, which is a little more than last year. In fact, this year we ran out of candy.  We try not to be one of those houses that skimps on the candy, so we gave little handfuls to every kid who came to the door, and apparently we over did it.  By 8:00pm our lights were out!

That wasn't the highlight of the night though.  Two little kids, about nine years old came bouncing to the door.  They both have long blonde hair, brightly colored wings on their back, and purple face paint.  I go out on a limb, and assume these girls are butterflies.  So I make a comment, "I love the costumes girls."  Do you know what they said, "We're not girls, we're boys!"  Whoops.  I just looked shocked tossed them some candy and shut the door. 

A few minutes later another 'girl' comes to the door.  Picture a small Pocahontas - long black braid, leather vest, and a leather purse that looks like a kid decorated it with pink and purple yarn.  So I say, "I like your purse, did you make it?"  And the kid says, "It's not a purse, I'm Indian Jones!"

After that I stopped talking to the kids and just gave them candy.
