    Hahahaha, this is almost what happened to my daughter 2 years ago.

    Neighbor is Vi, wife is Filipina. I don’t know why the viet neighbor family don’t celebrate Halloween, they are catholics (don’t know how many viet are) and their youngest kid is a teenager. But that is their business, so I don’t put my nose down that rabbit hole. Daughter then 3, rings their door bell for trick or treat. She insisted, in ringing their doorbell, it’s the only house she insisted rining, why? Because we told her trick or treating is going out to scare the neighbors. And the word neighbor is mostly used to our next door Viet neighbors, because our doors are so close.

    Anyway, daughter ring the door bell. They don’t have anything ready, the mother goes and gets a pack of instant noodles for my daughter. This made my daughter so happy, all the candy she got was secondary to this pack of instant noodles. The memory of these noodles outlived the memory of any candy she got both two years ago and last year. She rang the door bell again this year but they didn’t open, she now 5, was mildly sad that she didn’t get another pack of noodles.
