My son has a peanut allergy. When he was 3 years old and we were trick or treating on Halloween – every time someone tried to put a Reeses or M&M’s in his bag – he would close it and scream (really loudly with a deep voice) I’M ALLERGIC TO PEANUTS. He sent everyone frantically into their houses to get replacement “treats” for him while I stood at the bottom of the steps saying “don’t worry – he has plenty”! It was the funniest Halloween ever and I laugh every time I think of it.
