We have given out juice boxes at Halloween for so many years that we are known in the neighborhood as "The Juicebox House". This year was no exception. My wife and MIL sat on the front porch and dutifully handed out TWO juice boxes to each trick-or-treater that graced our home.
The highlight of last night was when this little boy dressed as Elvis, probably 2 or 3 years old, came toddling up to our front door with his father in tow. He saw the juice boxes and was immediately mesmerized. He said "Juice?" His dad leaned down and asked him "What do you say?". Little Elvis replied "Juice?" No matter how hard dad tried, he could not get his son to say "Trick or treat". My wife handed him a juicebox and that dad immediately took it away from him and again asked (a little more forcefully) "What do you say!?!?" The look on this little boy's face was priceless. He turned to another child who had just gotten his juicebox and feeblely said "Juice???" His dad relented and returned the juicebox to his little Elvis and the two of them walked away, hand in hand.
It was the most precious scene that I've ever witnessed on Halloween. Even today I can still see that little Elvis and hear him saying "Juice???"
