Tonight, being Halloween, dozens and dozens of little kids came to our house just begging for candy. Among the highlights:

-A five-year-old as the Statue of Liberty, complete with glowing torch and books
-Two seven-year-old girls - one as some action figure, the other as a glass of orange juice, prompting this conversation:

Girl 1: I'm a (some kids thing I've never heard of).
Girl 2: I was a (kids thing I've never heard of) earlier, but y'see, my mom made me change into orange juice costume to go out.
Girl 1: Julia!
Girl 2: What?
Girl 1: You're whining again.
Girl 2: I am not!

-A family consisting of eggs (the dad) bacon (the mom) a bowl of cereal (their three-year-old), and a pack of Centrum Silver (their little dog). As the mom explained, "Have you seen a glass of orange juice around? That's our daughter" That explained so much.

-And then an eight-year-old girl wearing a blond wig and trendy clothes proclaiming, "Um, I'ma Valley Girl!" To which I replied, "Whatever!"

As a side note: God, we have so much candy left over.
