Party Party Party! It was one long continuous party today.
So, one guy we met put a twist on the whole give candy for nothin' but dressing up tradition, he made them tell a joke to get their treat. Of course, I cringed and backed away, hoping he wouldn't notice the parent of the worst joke tellers (although enthusiastic) he'd ever heard in their lives.
Eli spoke up first: Knock, knock (Oh no! Not a knock-knock joke!!)
Candy Man: Who's there? (so innocent! I should have saved him before it was too late!)
Eli: Doris (what's this? I've never heard this one before...)
Candy Man: Doris who?
Eli: Doris closed. That's why I knocked. (Ha! Who knew he had it in him!! He must have read it off a Laffy Taffy candy or something!)
Candy Man: laughed his head off. And gave Eli a handful of candy.
Of course, the rest of the night went like this:
"The guy a couple houses down gave us extra candy for telling jokes. Knock-knock."
Enjoy the costume pictures! We had a really fun night.
