Late comers dig in – twice

Two more just came along. "Go ahead, dig in!" I invited. "Take a good handful."

So they did. I continued to hold the bowl out. The one with the glowing teeth looked at me in surprise. "Oh cool!" he exclaimed. "We get to take more?"

"Yes," I confirmed. He then put his bag down and dug in with two hands - or maybe it was just one hand and he kept his bag but that one hand somehow grew into such a gigantic scoop that I can only remember it as two hands. Suddenly, I worried they might take a little too much and then an unexpected caravan of pickup trucks might come by hauling a couple of score of extra mischievous trick-or-treaters and I wouldn't have anything to give them and I would suffer the brunt of many tricks.

There's still plenty of candy left, though.
