Trick or Treat!


I for one am glad it is over!!!

I actually closed up shop with a few pieces left in my witches cauldron. I had enough of the teenagers, kids driven from the other side of town, and MOTHERS looking for my treats. When I said MOTHERS, I meant, MOTHERS. I kid you not.

And then there are the kids that stand at the door with their bags and dont say anything, much less "trick or treat", or even "thank you".

I must be getting old and crotchety, but seriously, other than getting the kids ready, I do not enjoy this holiday at all any more.

Sorry for being such a downer, but I had to vent to someone!

    Dude. You can tell the cops from the robbers.
    The ones whose parents say take one when I say take two are all freaked out and in a moral crisis. The ones to whom I said take two and looked me in the eye while taking a handful? I wrote their names down in my head.

    You can learn a lot on Halloween.

    It's kind of because of these reasons that I have gone out with the kids for the past couple of years. It was fun when we first moved here and were getting mostly adorable little kids at the door, but when the first 'customers' are teenagers and then similar crews keep showing up, I'm willing to turn my porch light off without guilt.

    (I caught the tail end of The Exorcist. Cripes, that movie still scares me. I shouldn't have evn typed that when I'm off to bed and it's just me and the kids!)

    Amen, sister! With you 110% (see related rant on 11/1 comments--BWA!). YOUR kids, on the other hand, look darling! See, that's what I used to enjoy about Halloween--seeing the kids in fun costumes. Now, you hardly even get a costume...but I won't get started again. But I'm with ya!

    I am in agreement. We had rude kids, way to scantly dressed kids, my two year old is allergic to nuts. I can just pass on the whole parade next year.
