As a group of trick-or-treaters came to our door, I realized we were running low on candy. I dropped a few pieces in every child's bag. One small child looked at me worriedly, which confused me. I'm not used to being a grown-up -- had I messed up on some part of Halloween etiquette? All the other children ran back to the street, but not this tiny boy. Instead, he said to me, as if this were the gravest problem in the world: "You're almost out of candy."
He left content when I told him I would refill my bowl.
