Are they born knowing about Halloween?
At playgroup today, I was talking with the other moms about potty training. (Hey, it playgroup. What do you thing we talk about?) I mentioned that I'm not above bribery, and that our treat of choice is M&M's. Their instantaneous, small enough that I don't mind giving them to her numerous times a day, if she's going to put out for the potty and it gives me an excuse to buy bags of candy that I would normally avoid like the plague. Another woman mentioned Chuck E Cheese as her potential reward (she has yet to need it). Jamie overheard, and started throwing basketballs through the hoop, yelling "Treet or Trees!" after each throw.
The true irony here is that we didn't go Trick-or-Treating this year, and I never mentioned what she was missing, but she still managed to come up with a similar phrase on her own.
