Lessons from Halloween

When I have to shower in the mornings, I put a 45 lb bucket of wheat in front of the front door and lecture the kids about opening the door. I make sure they understand that if the doorbell rings or if someone knocks, they need to come get me and never open the door themselves.

This morning, as I coached Michael on proper door policy, I asked, "What do you do if someone knocks on the door?" He replied with a giant smile, "Give them candy!"
