Smell My Foot and Gimme Some Candy!

I tried to teach Avery that little Halloween rhyme, you know, “Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!” Except the only part of it that she picked up is “Smell my feet” and now she’s going around sticking her little foot out at everyone and shouting, “Smell my foot!
