"Trick Or Treat!"

For Kristi's first Halloween I dressed her in a clown costume and, using red lipstick, I made round circles on her cheeks and nose. Taking her from house-to-house with her cousin Laury, I instructed Kristi on how to approach the house and what to say to the homeowner when they came to the door. Uncertain, and somewhat afraid, I escorted her up onto the first couple of porches. However, at the third house Kristi instructed me, "Daddy, I can do it myself!" She learned quickly.
