The year before last chapter happened was the first time I stayed behind to help Dad with candy. This mom comes up to the front of the drive way and leaves her 1-year old (in a freaking adorable ladybug costume) to walk all the way up to the candy bowl in my hands.
Me: *picks out two pieces of candy and holds it out* Here ya go, kid.
Kid: *takes three steps forward*
Me: *extends arm further*
Kid: *two steps, stops, and two more*
Me: *extends arm until it hurts* You can do it!
Kid: *sits down*
The mom eventually helped her the rest of the way and took the candy.
