True Story. Last Halloween, my wife was handling candy duty when a
trio of children, costumed as a witch, a pumpkin, and a princess,
arrived at the door. She had spent some time arranging the lollipops,
candy bars and other sweets in a metal bowl and was quite proud of the
results. The three children said "Trick of Treat!", and as she presented
the bowl, they were clearly impressed.
"Whooooaaaaa!", they marveled in unison.
My wife beamed, offering each child two pieces of candy. As the
children were walking away from the door, my wife overheard one
of them saying, "See, they really go for that "Whoa" thing!"
