My favorite memory of this Halloween was making a 3 year old Sully (from Monsters inc) smile. She looked over what was on my tray ( at that time only chocolate stuff was left).
She sadly shook her head and said no thank you. I tried to find out what the problem was. She left the porch area and started walking back to her parents. Her older brother indicated she had a dairy allergy. I immediately called Sully back, I grabbed the Skittles I had kept back for me. She came back with her mom, and I asked the mom if skittles were ok for her. The mom shook her head yes.
We always start off with about 50% chocolate vs non-chocolate, but we had over double our normal amount of trick-or-treaters last night. I’m surprised we did not run out of candy.
This mom’s reaction was simply gratitude. Getting back to my favorite memory -I will never forget the smile on Sully’s face.
