Look forward to this more than Christmas. Speaking of Christmas or Halloween. (what ever)

Last year my Mom was over my house handing out candy because on my street we also distribute adult beverages to the Moms and Dads with the kids.
A little boy, about 8 or 9, came to the door by himself, dressed as a pirate. His parents were down the end of the walk chatting with some of the neighbors.
Right away I knew he had a speech impediment when he said "BICKLEBEET" instead of "trick or treat." My mom of course says "I am sorry what did you say? Pickled beets?" The kid is a little frustrated and puffs his chest and says once more "BICKLE-BEET". My mom finally gets it says "oh, trick or treat!"

My mother can never leave well enough alone and asks the kid "well what are you supposed to be?" Obviousely he is a pirate. Got the patch, the turned up hat with Jolly Roger. But the kid is cool and says "I'm a BAWIT". My mother of course does not get it and says "what?". The kid is quite frustrated now and takes a big breath, clenches his fists, screws up his face and says "I AM A BAWIT!"

My mom finally get's and say's "oh, a pirate!" Of course, as I said, she can't leave well enough alone and says to the kid "If you are pirate, where are your buccaneers?"
Then, the kid, with a straight face removed his cap and very calmly said " 'ere are my buckin' ears lady, under my buckin' hat."

Mom emptied the candy bowl int the kid's sack.
