Me: "No, the sign says you can't."
Kid: "But the sign says that you can!"
Me: "Yeah. How about that. I really don't want to."
Kid: "Why? Please? Please? Please?"
Me: "If it poops on me, I'll throw up."
Kid: "You'll probably throw up anyway."
Me: "And that is a good enough reason for me to not hold a chick."
Me: "Smile! Thomas! Look normal!"
"Okay, how about you three at least look like you like each other a little? Much better. Thanks."
Kid: "But I ride the horse every year. It's tradition. I have to."
Kids: "Cheeeeeeeze."
Kid 1: "I'll take the biggest pumkin I can carry!"
Me: "Smile! Thomas! Look normal!"

Kid 1: "I'll take the biggest pumkin I can carry!"Me: "Fine, you have enough money left."
Kid 2: "Me too! I want a huge one!"
Me: "Well, you spent most of your money on a pony ride. You are going to have to downsize."
Kid 2: "I should still get a big one . . . because I didn't even enjoy the pony ride that much!"
Me: "Tough beansies."
Kid 3: "I want this one!" (Picks up a small gourd from the 75 cent bin)
Me: "Sold!"
Me: "Who wants apple-cider doughnuts?"
Me: "Who wants apple-cider doughnuts?"Kids: "Meeeeeee!"
Gosh I wish I'd saved some of those doughnuts.
