Halloween!

Julia was amazed by the spectacle of trick-or-treating. She didn't, herself, get dressed up or go out to beg for sweets, but she was a very interested observer. Every time the doorbell rang, she wheeled around and went straight to th door. And talk about a quick study! After a few times hearing the kids, all decked out, shouting "Trick or treat!" and getting what were clearly "nums," she started saying, "Thbta teet!" and pointing at the bowl Mom was carrying around. Alas - no Tootsie Rolls before bed.
