As the sun began to set just after 5 o' clock on Halloween Eve the neighborhood draped in the orange creamsicle sky was alive with the sounds of screaming children. Many of them had dressed up in their costumes for school that day and were eagerly awaiting their parents arrival home from work. As cars pulled into driveways soon overly excited kids trailed by tired adults poured out into the streets and the yearly tradition of trick or treating was underway.
Debbie sat by her living room window sill watching as all the trick or treaters walked out. Daydreaming of past years when she would accompany her own kids while they joyfully shouted for candy dressed in their adorable, and sometimes in Derek's case, scary costumes. But these were just memories. Now all her kids were too old and had moved on. Instead wanting to hang out with their friends or party on Halloween. Even her youngest daughter Nicole had declared she was too old to trick or treat and would rather walk the neighbor with her friends getting up to God knows what kind of shenanigans. As Debbie snapped out of her trance she realized that she had failed to fill up her candy bowls and walked to the kitchen.
As Debbie entered the kitchen she saw the multiple bags of candy she had bought for tonight including one that had already been broken into. She thought about who the possible culprit culprit as she filled the witch cauldron bowl with tasty sugary treats. She went to grab another bag when she noticed that underneath it sitting on the table was Steve's shrink ray.
Staring at the shrink ray Debbie began to piece together a theory. Steve must have shrunken himself down to stuff himself silly with seemingly small amounts of candy. Her husband, the smartest man she knew but still acting like a man child and thinking small. Now seemingly having an answer of who pilfered the candy Debbie picked up her husband's device and suddenly thought of all the fun she could have on this Halloween night.
