Today my best friend cracked me up while talking about her five-year-old grandson.  Last year he went Trick or Treating dressed as a ninja.  He’ll wear the same costume this year, he’s happy with that.  However, he’s already made his costume choice for next year.  It won’t be a ninja. 

     My friend was cooking dinner for her hubby and their grandson who was spending the night with them.  Grandpa and Grandson were sitting on the living room floor playing with a new set of Leggos they’d bought him that day.  My friend was taking pleasure from listening to their conversation. 

     The conversation turned from what they were building with the Leggos to Trick or Treating.  Grandpa asked the little one what he was going to wear to go Trick or Treating.  Their grandson with no hesitation told him he was wearing last year’s costume again but he already knew what next year’s was going to be.  

     Grandpa asked, “What are you going to wear next year?”

     The five year old paused a moment and then in a serious voice answered, “Well, Grandpa.  Next year, I’m going to dress as a teenager.”

     Grandpa replied, “Now that’s a scary costume.” 

     That’s when the severe case of the giggles in the kitchen began.
