He yawned as he put his brown briefcase down on top of their wooden hutch. " Work was really busy today". He walked over to their white refrigerator. He opened it and peered inside. " Sweetie, have you seen my Hostess treats?".

He saw the familiar red, white and blue package. He took one out and opened it. He took a long bite. " I love these things".

" What are they called again?".

" Hostess Devil's Food zingers".

" Oh". She grinned at her husband. " I need you to do something for me".

" Anything". He gave her a peck on the cheek.

" I need you to go to the store and purchase our Halloween candy for tomorrow".

" Ok".
