Conversation with Yiayia re: Halloween
Yiayia: Nicholas.... (pondering)
Me: Yes?
Yiayia: ...do...do they have Halloween in California?
Me: Yes.
Yiayia: They do?!??!
Me: Yes, they do.
Mom: Mom, it's a national thing.
Yiayia: It is?
Me: Yes. (laughing)
Yiayia: Well how the hell am I supposed to know?
Me: (still laughing)
Yiayia: But I mean, do they dress up and do trick-or-treating?
Me: Yes, they do all that.
Yiayia: Really?
Me: Yes.
Yiayia: Then why don't I see any pumpkins or decorations?
Me: I'm not in a very festive neighborhood, apparently.
Yiayia: Huh.
Me: Trust me, there will be plenty of costumes and trick-or-treating.
