303/365 Halloween

 

FOX: You were (understandably) wary of venturing down driveways and footpaths to approach complete strangers. However, you had absolutely no qualms about taking candy from them.

But I made a point of stressing that you could only have one. “OK, mummy” you said sweetly as you picked out a lolly-pop from your stash. Once every atom of sugar had been licked from the stick you looked up at me and asked/demanded, “More lolly?”.
