Todd: OK, guys we're going to talk about Halloween. So, what do you think about Halloween?
 
Adrienne: I actually like it. It's a fun holiday for kids especially because you get to dress up in costumes2 and you get lots of candy if you go trick-or-treating. I have a lot of good memories. of Halloween growing up.
 
Todd: OK, what is trick-or-treating? Why do you trick-or-treat?
 
Adrienne: Trick-or-treat is when you go, you dress up in your costume1 on Halloween and you go door-to-door ringing doorbells, knocking on doors. One person comes to the door, you say, "Trick-or-treat" and usually these days they give you a treat which is candy or apples or something like that but in the older days, you could, if they didn't give you a treat, then you could play a trick on them or they could play a trick on you, instead of giving you a treat, something like that.
 
Mike: I always thought that it was they performed, the person at the door performed some kind of trick for the kids because they didn't have candy to give, but I could be wrong.
 
Adrienne: Yeah, I don't know exactly. It's one of those three options3.
 
Todd: Yeah, I think it's you play a trick on them.
 
Mike: Oh, really
 
Todd: You throw trash against their house.
 
Adrienne: Toilet paper their.
 
Todd: Toilet paper, eggs,
 
Mike: Egg their window.
 
Todd: Dog pooh in the paper bag on fire. On fire!
 
Adrienne: Yuck.
 
Todd: Yeah, that's gross4. So, Mike, you're from Canada, so do you have Halloween American-style in Canada? Do you celebrate trick-or-treating? Do you do trick-or-treating?
 
Mike: Oh, yeah, I think it is the same as in the U.S. I believe it is a little bit different in Europe, maybe. They don't have the same kind of traditions but, yeah, exactly the same as in the U.S. We watched all the Snoopy, Charlie Brown Halloween kind of things, just like everybody....
 
Todd: OK. That's good. I'm glad because now we can diverge5. What was, what were your costumes when you were younger?
 
Adrienne: Ah, I had so many. My mom was a seamstress so she used to make a lot of my costumes. I designed them and she would make them for me and my sister so one year I was bat girl, another year I was Wonder Woman. Another year I was Princess Lea from Star Wars, I was a rainbow and a clown6 and a cat, and a witch7 and everything, basically8 that you're supposed to be for Halloween I was.
 
Todd: A lot of heroines9 in there.
 
Adrienne: Of course. Strong women!
 
Todd: Mike, how about you?
 
Mike: I was goat boy.
 
Todd: Goat boy!
 
Mike: I was always goat boy because there...
 
Todd: Every year?
 
Mike: Yeah, we, I couldn't afford to get a decent10 costume every year.
 
Todd: So how were you goat boy? What did you look like?
 
Adrienne: Where did you get goat boy from?
 
Mike: They just put some sort of, they put a lot of trash on me, and forced me to eat a can. It's OK. I got lots of candy but then the other kids would beat me up and steal it from me. That's OK.
 
Adrienne: That's the saddest thing I've ever heard.
 
Mike: Well, you know. That's all right. It toughened me up when I got older.
