something about driving me batty. I was a bat that year.

[rhyme]

This is a story from when we were trick or treating the other year. (By the way, if you have a costume, it is a fun thing to do, because it is a mostly socially acceptable way to look at stranger's houses. Well, more so if you have small children handy.)

But anyway, at one house, there was a basket of candy on the door step, with a note. It read "Take between __x___ and __y___ pieces, but not __z__, never _____z_____." I remember being surprised, because ____z___ was the amount I had been intending to take.

I felt like it must have been a reference to something, but even google yielded no answers. It suddenly came to mind today, but I discovered, to my dismay, that I could not remember the numbers.

Yeah, it probably was something like that. I think it wasn't one or four, though, but 3 sounds about right. (If it was one and 4, I'd probably have chosen 2, although 3 is also a contender for vanity's sake. 3=Mi, after all.)

Actually, I kind of want to say that the range was 2-5, but when you think about it, that's a really ridiculous range.
