And A Happy Halloween To You, Too!

Tonight my wife escorted the five and six-year-old sons on an extra long walk through the neighborhood, after bringing the younger children back home from early trick-or-treating. They came up to a house, and the six-year-old exhorts the five-year-old to "quick, get your bag ready, I hear someone coming!" From inside the house my wife hears a voice exclaim, "Damn it, we should turn off that light!" Off went the light, just as the boys happily sang out, "Trick-Or-Treat!" The woman inside replied loudly, "We don't have any fucking candy!" To which my wife replied, "Okay, boys, get your eggs ready!" Can you believe an adult using language like that to little children?
