That's what the kid just said - loudly!- as I started to put a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and a KitKat into his Hallowe'en bucket. Mind you, the Reese's are at the bottom of the bowl so that if (cough) there's any leftover candy, it'll be Reese's.
So I swapped the Reese's for a box of Hot Tamales.
"I can't have hot!", he claims.
I'm tempted to say, "Look, kid, I already gave away all of the boring stuff!", but give him two KitKats instead.
Back in the day (after dirt, but before dinosaurs), we swapped the stuff we didn't like with our sibling or buddies. It's Halloween, and I really can't take the time to say "ground or tree?" when a kid says he can't have nuts.
Two leopards just came to the door. The girls were MAYbe 4 and 6, and were as cute as cute can be.
When did I become a curmudgeon?

Knitting - and Rhinebeck - has occurred. Susan and I got to spend two days at Rhinebeck. To my amazement, Anne Hanson (aka KnitSpot) recognized my shawl (Wing of the Moth) and asked if she could take a picture. As if I'm going to say "no" to the shawl's designer? (As if I weren't flattered beyond words?!?)
After Rhinebeck, Susan and I headed to Northampton (aka, "WEBS"). The brilliant and lovely Marcy (aka knittinggolfer) met us there for fun, yarn, and lunch. We posted pictures of each other on Twitter, but I neglected to take a For Reals picture.

And, at almost-8 pm and with three almost-teenage girls (one vampire, one witch, one vampire-witch), I'm out of candy. There's one (one!) Reese's Peanut Butter Cup left. Time to turn off the porch light, have a piece of candy, and knit.

Yes, whatever happened to "thank you," anyway? Come on, parents!
Enjoy your Reese's, and your knitting!
We got a record number of kids - 9. (Last year 2)
Which was a good thing as we had eaten most of the candy already.
