Halloween poops me out.

A kid made me laugh today with one of his one-liners. Since Halloween isn’t my favorite day to have school, that was quite a feat.

As he handed me his essay he said, “I thought I’d get the first trick out of the way.” When I asked him what he meant, he pointed at his paper in my hand and responded, “a flaming bag of dog crap.”

Immediately dropping the essay and stamping it with my foot seemed to lift his spirits for a moment too.
