sierciaCute mom story.
So, tonight was Halloween, and, as expected, we had a zillion kids. It was a nice night, so we were hanging out on our front steps waiting for children. Wiley in his floor-length cape, and Widget in her little dragon costume. And up walks this little boy, probably about 5 or so, and he looks like a knight, complete with plastic breastplate and sword. So I ask him if he is a knight, and he says "No, I'm ummmm..., ummmmm, I keep forgetting. Mom?" She hollers up that he's a dragonslayer, and he says "Yeah, a DragonSlayer!". And I laugh, and say "well, then I'm going to give you lots and lots of candy so you'll go away without slaying our dragon. We'd like to keep her". And give this adorable little kid a giant handful of candy.
And Widget decides that this is the right time to practice her new noise, a loud half scream, half grunt, that sounds very much like a dragon noise. And does it over and over and over. We all (me, Wiley, our friends, the kid's parents) laughed so hard.
It's moments like that one that make this wild roller coaster ride worth it.
