I think I was 9 at the time. Me and the neighborhood kids were going door to door, trick-or-treating. We knocked on our neighbor's door and this young guy answered it. There were moving boxes in the hallway behind him.
"Trick or treat!" we shouted gleefully.
He blinked. "It's Halloween?" Then he started panicking. "Oh crap, it's Halloween! I forgot!"
He told us to hold on a minute and went down the hall, then returned with handfuls of change for each of us. "I'm so sorry, kids, I just moved in yesterday, I forgot to get candy." We didn't mind, because he was giving us money, which is better than candy, but we found it very amusing. How could someone forget it was Halloween? I guess you can if you've just moved!
