Halloween Night!

Another successful Halloween! Lots of loot with minimal amounts of sweat - sweating in late October may sound unfamiliar to most of you, but we do live in the desert.

This year we herded a Batman, Ariel and Darth Vader around the neighborhood.

We had a humorous moment towards the end of the evening when Aaron approached a lady for some candy. As the lady doled out the candy, she said "Here you go, baby." The candy lady said this in an endearing way with no intent to insult, but Aaron is especially sensitive to that word as he is a big 3 year-old boy and all. After the exchange of words and candy, Batman (aka Aaron) turned around, hunched his shoulders and in a sulky, mopey, stick out your lower-lip sort of way exclaimed "She called me a baby and I am NOT a baby!" The candy lady overheard him, offered her apologies and then joined us in having a good laugh.

This was the second time that Aaron has had to fend off these types of statements this week. Jean and Aaron were out grocery shopping earlier this week and were paying for their purchases when the cashier placed some eggs on the little fold-out seat of the grocery cart. As she did so, the cashier heard Aaron (without seeing him - because if she'd have seen him, she would have altered her next statement) and said "Ohh, do you want these taken out of the seat for your baby?" Awwwwwww - snap! Aaron overheard this and immediately began to protest "I AM NOT A BABY!"

I repeat: Aaron is not a baby. He's a big boy.

Consider yourselves forewarned.
