31. Funny Story From Tonight

Oct 31

Two young boys come to the door. Mom & dad are at the end of our walk.
The younger one left his bucket at the curb. So, I give him a bag of chips & 4 or 5 minis. He's trying to hold them in his tiny hands & his dad says "Give them to me & get your bucket." The kid tells dad "I've got chips, too."
Dad says "I'll take the chips!" I told him that's why we do the chips because the patents will want them if the kids don't!.
He agreed it was a great idea. Of course, he was eating Doritos at the time!
