Trick or Treat?

It was definitely a treat; every time I think about it I start laughing again.

We have a poster in the window of our front door, saying “No trick or treat, please do not disturb”, so when the door knocked shortly after 6pm I thought “I wonder who that is? We’re not expecting anybody”. Mr Man jumped up to answer the door and was greeted by two young children with their faces painted. “Trick or treat?” I heard them say. “Can’t you read?” asked Mr Man, in his usual grumpy fashion, pointing to the poster. “No” they replied in unison, shaking their heads innocently. Mr Man didn’t really know what to say to that. He just said “No thank you” and came in laughing.

What a treat.
