I want to thank my precious little daughter for giving me the rare opportunity yesterday to do something I have not done for over 17 years…go Trick-or-Treating.
It didn’t dawn on me that its something we love to do but is strictly for kids (I’m looking at you weird Sophomores & Juniors) yet when we have kids of our own we can at least experience it again for a short time until they get older and want to go out with friends. It was such a great time walking up and down and around the block with Maddie going door-to-door and helping her up some tough stairs. She actually knocked or rang bells and appropriately and politely (and adorably) said “TWICK GOR TWEET” “HAPPY HALLERWEEN” and even “Thank You” when she was given her candy. She loved walking with the neighborhood kids and calling out the Elmos, Supergirls and other witches besides herself. It was just as much fun for my wife and me walking with the other parents and watching out kids have fun. I really enjoyed Halloween from a kids’ perspective again, a small sample or taste what it feels like to be 6 again.
Here’s a quick video of my little girl Trick-or-Treating:
NOW, I cannot wait for Christmastime.
