Creeeaak…
Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Trick or treat.
Rick and Pete?
No. Trick or treat!
Oh. Stinky beets?
We’re trick or treaters!
You’re picky eaters?
We’re wearing costumes!
You need the bathroom?
UGH!!!
Bug?
It’s dark out here!
A shark is near?
We’ll bare our teeth!
You like my wreath?
Open the door!
No, I don’t snore,…but I’m hard off hearing.
We’re gonna haunt your house!
You caught a mouse?
Aw, forget it.
Slug and lettuce?
Goodbye…and good riddance!
…Creeeaak…
Why are you leaving? I love kittens!
