One Halloween I had about 6 of the grandkids in the house, getting ready to go trick or treating. There was a knock on the door, and there was a little girl, just about the same age as all those kids, maybe 4. She took one look, her eyes got wide and she just walked in the house! I stepped aside and said, “Almighty then!” Hell, there was a party going on! She was up for it!
I turned back to the mother with a grin and asked if she wanted to come in too.
To my dismay she looked stricken, almost terrified. She kept hissing at her child to “Get back here! Come back here!” and refused to come in to retrieve her.
Well, I sadly took the child by the had and led her back to the door. Her mom snatched her away as though I’d just tried to kidnap her, and yelled at her all the way down the drive.
That could have been so much fun, but she ruined it, for me and for her little girl.

Do you have any stories you’d like to share?
