You’re listening to Conversations with My Daughter Episode 25.

[CANNED INTRO]  Hi there. I’m Sami. And I’m Elinor. And you’re listening to Conversations with my Daughter where we sit down and discuss food, books, pets, and anything else that comes to mind. So we look forward to seeing you every week. And I hope you enjoy.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] Okay, so today is Halloween.

[ELINOR MULHERN] I guess.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] It is.

[ELINOR MULHERN]  Oh Yeah.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN]  Yeah. So are we going trick or treating?

[ELINOR MULHERN] No.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] So what are we gonna do instead?

[ELINOR MULHERN] Um, we’re gonna sit at home and eat candy, and we’re going to be on the toilet most of the night.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] What?

[ELINOR MULHERN] Blah, blah, blah, blah.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] So there’s a new movie too on HBO Max called The Witches. Are we excited to watch that? Yeah.

[ELINOR MULHERN] No. Did they sponsor us?

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] No.

[ELINOR MULHERN] Why?

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] Okay, cuz nobody sponsors us. We’re not big enough to be sponsored.

[ELINOR MULHERN] Well, what if I sponsor myself?

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] Okay. So yeah, what things should families do on Halloween this year? Should they create fun snacks and make cookies? Like, because we’re not going trick or treating this year? And maybe you are that’s totally fine, but we’re not trick or treating this year.

[ELINOR MULHERN] No. Because if we were them, we would just I know, my friend. She’s going trick or treating, but her mom is just throwing out the candy and giving them he wants. So if you’re listening to this before, um, Halloween, I’m sorry.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] No, well, this is going out on Halloween.

[ELINOR MULHERN] No, I know. But like before you go trick or treating. No.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] So um, we’re gonna eat good food.

[ELINOR MULHERN] We are? I thought we were just gonna get fat.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] That too. And then we’re going to watch good movies and we’re going to eat candy but we are not trick or treating.

[ELINOR MULHERN] How much candy are we going to eat?

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN]  I don’t know.

[ELINOR MULHERN] We’re gonna eat a lot of candy.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN]  Okay, so

[ELINOR MULHERN] Oh wait, I heard actually candy it doesn’t actually hurt your teeth so kids you better listen to this candy doesn’t actually hurt it doesn’t hurt your teeth.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] Wait, woah, woah, woah, woah. What do you mean candy doesn’t actually hurt your teeth?

[ELINOR MULHERN] You it just depends how long the candy sits on your teeth. So if you just swallow it like point three seconds then then nothing’s gonna happen but if you’re like [crunching sound] and put her candy on your teeth…

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] ok we are not dentists. We are not anybody.

[ELINOR MULHERN] I heard it on TikTok. He was a dentist he was the dentist or something.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] So basically what you’re saying is the less the sugar sits on your teeth, the better it will be.

[ELINOR MULHERN] Yeah.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] So we are going to be making some Halloween food so orange colored

[ELINOR MULHERN] Oh wait, I have the best idea. Okay, so I made these really good cookies. Remember them cookies. They had like chocolate and the orange things. What if we add the pumpkin spices stuff into it?

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] Oh, how do you all feel about pumpkin spice?

[ELINOR MULHERN] I don’t even know what it is.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] Have you heard of like PSL like pumpkin spice latte like pumpkin spice the thing?

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] Okay, so get some pumpkin spice

[ELINOR MULHERN] Pumpkin spice.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] Okay, so what we’re going to do in our home because we are choosing not to well we are choosing to do is we are not going to trick or treat. Instead, we’re going to watch some. So we are going to choose to make some good food that’s maybe orange flavored and Halloween themed. And we are going to eat our own candy that we have in our own home.

[ELINOR MULHERN] We’re going to butterscotch, cookie scotch.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] Should we make more butterscotch chocolate chip cookies?

[ELINOR MULHERN] What if we made our own caramel apples?

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] We could make our own caramel apples? You can’t see her face but she’s a weird face.

[ELINOR MULHERN] Maybe you should take a picture of this.

[SAMI BEDELL-MULHERN] We could.

Okay.
