Run, Toto, Run!


It's been 2 1/2 weeks since Halloween, but I never told this story.

Madeline is obsessed with The Wizard of Oz. The movie. She watches it almost daily and recites the lines along with it. Her favorite character is the Wicked Witch of the West. That's who she was for Halloween.

We went trick or treating with our neighbors. When we got to the last house a woman came to the door holding a barking little dog under her arm. Each of the neighbor kids said, "Trick or treat!" and got their candy. Madeline stood there silently holding her treat bucket. The woman said, "Do you have something to say to me?" Madeline thought for a second then said, "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!"

She got double the treats.
