In St. Louis, the tradition is that if you want candy, you need to have a joke or a song or a talent. You earn candy here. Here were a few of the jokes my children told this year:
Do you want to hear my construction joke?
You can't--it's not finished yet.
Why do witches fly on brooms?
Because vacuum cleaners are too heavy.
How does Darth Vader know what you're getting for Christmas?
He can feel your presents.
Billy? He was a train engineer. Can't you tell?? He had a whistle that sounded like a steam train whistle, and that was his talent. And costume.
Daisy was Lucy from the Narnia series. Hence the schoolgirl outfit combined with the big fur coat/robe thingy. And Fiona went as Galadriel from the Lord of the Rings. She tends to be literary; this was Daisy's first venture past cat/witch/cowgirl standards.
