Roy McReed pressed the white garage door button. He opened the kitchen door and walked into the spacious newly remodeled kitchen. " Hi sweetie".
" Hi honey" Margaret McReed replied as she put down a carving knife. " I'm just finishing up our Halloween pumpkin".
He yawned as he put his brown briefcase on top of a wooden hutch. " Work was really busy today". He walked over and opened a white refrigerator. He peered inside. " Have you seen my Hostess treats?".
" Yes, next to your cheese slices".
He took out the familiar red, white and blue package. He opened it and took a long bite. " I love these things".
She stared at her husband. " What are they?".
He took another bite. " Hostess Devil's Food zingers".
" Oh". Her voice hesitated. " I need you to do something for me".
He gave her a peck on the cheek. " Anything".
" I need you to go to the store and purchase our Halloween candy for tomorrow".
" Ok".
