The Halloween Goblin

The Halloween Goblin's been to our house!

And look what he brought:

What do you mean you have no idea who the Halloween Goblin is? You know, he's like all of those other trespassing goons, the Tooth Fairy, Santa, The Easter Bunny. Those menacing critters who spoil children better than their parents do.

I'm sorry if he doesn't make it to your house. He's been coming to ours the last couple of Halloweens. So for future reference, if you too want the Halloween Goblin to sneak into your house in the middle of the night (such a creepy thought), all you have to do is pick out the candy you want, no more than a cup full (heaping works), and then leave your leftovers in your candy container or in a bag for the Halloween Goblin. Leave what you can. I'm sure he'll understand if you don't give him everything, and then the next morning, viola, a present just for you.

And if your parents end up getting fatter and seem to be munching on treats you didn't know they had...it's merely coincidence.
