Dear Fable

I'm sorry to say, your daddy started calling you "stinky" a long time ago, and it stuck. We call you "the stinkster" and many other names derived from "stinky." But of course we give you these pet names with all the love in our hearts, and it seemed only fitting to dress you as a skunk for Halloween! Not quite as "sweet" as last year, but so much fun.

We took you out in your costume three times. On Friday, we went with friends to a local shopping complex. On Sunday, we went to a Trunk or Treat at our church. Before we did any trick-or-treating ourselves, we passed out candy from our car. You loved giving candy to the other kiddos.

"One for you."

"One more for you."

"And one for you."

"Anyone else? Who wants candy?"

"Someone, please! Take this candy!"

On Monday we went around to a few houses in our neighborhood. You enjoyed carrying your candy bag and walking around the neighborhood. As the bag grew heavier, you took to dragging it along behind you.

You always said "Tank ooo!" and "Buh byeee!"

My polite little stinker.

Love you,

Mama
