Trick or Treat

John's joke skills are coming along nicely.  Remember the last one?  Here's the joke he used for trick or treating tonight.  And he really did a good job of it!


Knock, knock


Who's there?


Ivan


Ivan who?


(singing) I've been working on the railroad...

Emma wasn't overly fond of her duck costume.  John loved being a clown...suits him well.

We took the kids trick or treating on Beggars' Night.  We went to Grandpa VM's house first.  John and Scott went in the drizzly, cold night to a few other houses in the Copper Creek area.  Then we headed to Grandma VM's house in Altoona.  John and Scott went down one street near her house, but that was enough of the wet and cold.  Emma and I gladly stayed there instead of trick or treating.  Grandma had very few trick or treaters, but we were there when Drew came for candy.

 

Boxes

While eating supper tonight, John turns to me and says, "What did one box say to the other box?"

Not sure I understood him correctly, I say, "Did you just say 'what did one box say to the other box?' "

"Uh huh"

I laugh and fall for the bait of John's first joke. "Okay, what did one box say to the other box?"

"Mom, boxes don't talk!"

(I have absolutely NO idea where he picked up on jokes, but that was simply too cute not to share!)
