Candy Caper

My halloween candy went missing one day
  The usual suspects came into play
  The clues were quite easy to unveil
  The culprit had left a candy wrapper trail!

 The trail ended at little brother's door
 He had pulled off this caper the year before
 I called his name, he came running out
 I said "Boo" and he let out a shout
 
 It was the same for a few years
 He'd take my treats then get a good scare!

Probably you enjoyed the Halloween exchange between you and your brother, and would have been disappointed had he decided to be a good boy :) Enjoy the memory! Regards // paul

Seems as though he would have learned his lesson by now!! I guess not. Little brothers. (Soft giggle) At least there is a good scare every year. With the BOO!! Your thoughts bring a smile. :) Brandy

Why are little brothers always so cute but terribly naughty - he gets away with a scare only but has all your candy, he probably thinks that the scare has far less impact than eating all that yummy candy. Well penned my friend, good luck in the contest hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
