A true story...
This childhood tale just popped into my head as I was washing dishes...
It was Halloween when I was 4 or 5 years old, and as my mother was leaving for a meeting she reminded my father to set up things for Halloween. My dad was watching a Western movie and not really paying much attention. He continued watching his movie, and about a half hour later the doorbell rang. I peaked through the curtain and saw four kids older than myself in costumes.
My dad quickly opened the door and angrily stared down at the kids. He bellowed at them about showing up the day before Halloween! The kids started crying as dad continued to scolding them. He was still yelling as they ran away. He turned off the outside lights and went back to his movie.
When my mother returned, she asked dad why there was so much candy left? He told her about those "greedy" kids. She looked at him perplexed and said, "Honey, tonight's Halloween."
