Halloween Christmas

Troy: “What was that song they were taking about, dada?”

Me: “It was a commercial for a Christmas concert.”

Troy: “I wish it was Christmas.”

Me: “Me too.”

Troy: “And I wish it was Halloween too.”

Me: “At this point, I’d settle for Halloween. Anything for a reprieve from the heat.”

Troy: “What about a Halloween Christmas together? Do you like that?”

Me: “Um…I like the Christmas part.”

Troy: “You don’t like Halloween?”

Me: “No, not really. I never have.”

Troy: “Why not?”

Me: “It’s not really my thing. I don’t like ghosts, and witches, and monsters. And I don’t like being scared.”

Troy: “It’s okay, they’re not real. They’re just decorations. You don’t need to be scared. They won’t hurt you.”

Me: “Yeah, I don’t really like the decorations either.”

Troy: “What about dressing up in costumes?”

Me: “Nope, I don’t really enjoy that either.”

Troy: “I think we just need to get you a happy costume. Yeah, that’s what we’ll do. We’ll get you a happy costume.”

Me: “Okay.”

Troy: “Dada?”

Me: “Troy.”

Troy: “Does mama like Halloween?”

Me: “I think mama enjoys seeing the kids dressing up, and I think she enjoys how happy you get.”

Troy: “And chocolate.”

Me: “Of course, and chocolate.”
