Trick or Treat

Since trick or treat is not a "big thing" in Australia, not a lot of kids go around house to house and knock on the door for treats. Here's what happened yesterday...

When my son, Christopher, came home at around 3:15 pm from school, he keenly put all the chocolates in a tin can anticipating that there will be kids knocking on our door for trick or treats. He wanted to be the one giving away the chocolates so he placed himself (sat down) at the sofa next to the door and waited for the trickers and the treaters. He waited and waited and waited....'.till he fell asleep. Not even one kid knocked at our door yesterday and last night and on the way home, I never seen someone and not even one child was out and about doing the trick or treat.

When my son woke up few hours later and realized it was night time already, he felt that he missed the trickers and treaters so he ran to me and cried. I felt his disappointment as he prepared himself for this event so I went to the door, knocked and said to him, "trick or treat!". I finally saw a beautiful smile back on his face and gave me the two smallest chocolates. Ay! Kakuripot palang magbigay ng chocolate itong anak ko!
