Candy
A very short story.
“Hi kids!” I said to the trick-or-treaters who had gathered on my porch. “Do you guys like candy?” I asked as I brought out the Halloween bowl.
“Yes!” they screamed.
“How much?” I asked.
“A lot!” they screamed.
“Do you love it?” I asked.
“Yes!” they screamed. “We love it!”
“So why don’t you marry it?” I asked.
“Nooo!” they screamed.
“Why not?” I asked.
“You can’t marry candy!” they screamed.
“Don’t let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do,” I said, fiddling with my wedding ring. “Ever.”
