This is Catoween!

(Catoween, Catoween!)

Tis the day for tricks and treats. I’m not much up on tricks, so instead, let’s do double treats: 2 Sage Conversations in 1 post!

The Costume

Sage: *jumping onto counter with great seriousness* I’ve decided what I want to be for Catoween.

Manda: *moving snack out of Sage’s reach* Yeah? What’s that?

Sage: *small burp* Full.

Manda: *rolls eyes* Of course.

Sage: *angling for a bite of snacktastic yummage* Are you gonna eat all of that?

Trick or Eat

Sage: …and I LOVE how there are the customary gifts for Catoween! *sighs with fondness* It’s one of my favourite Meowlodays.

Manda: You mean passing out candy?

Sage: *reverie broken* Huh?

Manda: Passing out candy. Kids come round with their parents and we give them candy.

Sage: *confused* That’s not how Catoween works.

Manda: Do tell.

Sage: *explaining like Manda’s 5 - or a Hooman* The time-honoured tradition is for families to come round and give ME gifts of treats, mice, toys, tortilla aminals, salmoncows - like that. *nodding emphatically*

Manda: …right. Okay. *to Josh* Do you want to tell her, or -

Josh: *picks up cup and heads out of kitchen, patting Manda’s shoulder as he passes* This is too spooky even for me. Have fun. Good luck.
