I think when he finished trick or treating he took over for his mom in dispensing treats. He put his hand in my bag when he put the rock in. It was the last house and I knew what was in my bag, so there was no doubt when I saw the rock that it was from him. Plus he was laughing. I probably wasn't the only one who got a rock.
