The best part of Halloween...


Daughter: Dad, I brought you some candy.
Me: Ooo, sour candy and peanut butter candy. Thanks, sweetheart! Don't you like peanut butter?
Daughter: Yuck, no.
Me: I like sour candy, too. But you don't, do you?
Daughter: No. You don't like hot peppers, do you?
Me: Actually, I do like hot peppers.
Daughter: Ugh!
We eat some candy.
Me: You should try one of these. They're sweet on the inside.
Daughter: Okay, just one.
She tentatively puts one in her mouth.
Me: Bite it, it's sweet inside.
Daughter: Mmm!
Me: Pretty good, huh?
Daughter: Yah. But I still don't like hot peppers.
