makin' mom-in-law's night

Mom-in-law isn't usually at our house for Halloween. She's usually at her place where she buys one bag of candy and sees, if she's lucky, enough kids to make a noticable dent in that bag.

She was at our house last night, and witnessed the flood of kids that is our neighborhood on Halloween night. She handed out candy and had a blast. The highlight of her evening was two kids, no older than five. The little boy was slightly older than the girl.

Little boy: You look kinda old.

Mom-in-law: That's because I'm a grandmother.

Little girl: OOOOhhhh, can you make me some cookies?

She'll be telling that story for months.
