Please welcome Gregory Green and Sammy!
Gregory: Are you a cat?
*Sammy looks over his furry shoulder at his tail*
Sammy: No. I’m a teddy bear.
Gregory: Then why are you such a scaredy cat? You were even frightened of a cloud! *giggles*
*Sammy crosses his arms* Sammy: Hey, you were scared, too.
Gregory: I was not!
Sammy: Then I wasn’t, neither.
*Gregory sighs* Gregory: Okay, so how are you a walking, talking teddy bear?
Sammy: It’s a secret. My secret.
Gregory: Come on. I’m your pal!
*Sammy shakes his head* Sammy: Stay out of my business.
Gregory: You don’t have any business.
Sammy: I have some business.
*Hanging on to each other, they laugh*
Gregory: Okay. How many people know you can talk?
Sammy: Well, you, our parents, and our friends at school. I only talk to adults in special cases.
Gregory: Do bears eat nuts? You filled your candy bucket full chestnuts from that tree where we found the witch's broom.
Sammy: I’m a different kind of bear. I can eat anything I want. Like CANDY!!!!
Gregory: What’s your favorite candy?
Sammy: Gummy bears!
Gregory: Why did you want to dress up as a pumpkin?
Sammy: Because Mom made the costume for you when you were little, and I wanted to make her happy.
Gregory: Are you going to wear it next year?
Sammy: That’s another one of my secrets. *winks*

I can still remember being curious about this type of stuff when I was little, so creatively written. You've written enough to stir the mind.
Chrys, you're welcome.
I love pea soup and have a great recipe for a vegan version.
I heard this in a child's voice so you know that's good writing. I also love knowing it was inspired by Elaine's children's pumpkin costume. Too adorable!
