For the first time in my adult life, I’m living somewhere where there’s a good chance there will be trick or treaters coming to my door.
And I’m just tickled a tasteful shade of red about it.
Now is the time where we decide What Kind of Trick Or Treat House we will be. Will we be generous with the portions, or mindful of the children’s dental health? A few bits of candy corn or full-size chocolate bars? Stacey has purchased a couple big bags of an assortment of candies… do we give each kid one item, or drop a handful in their bag?
Decisions, decisions… though I’m leaning towards an all-out candyfest.
What time does this stuff happen nowadays, anyway?
I always stay out late on Hallowe’en, so I won’t have to deal.
Killjoy.
No, that’s the guy who gives out apples with razor blades in them.
It’s one day a year. You should plan to rot the teeth right out of their cute little heads.
Done and done.
Die, teeth, die!
I think Trick or Treating occurs any time from 4pm on….
I’m going to aim to be home by 6pm so that I can help rot teeth.
I vote for being “that cool house with tons of candy” to the kids and “that evil house with the pagan teeth rotters” to their parents.
I’m all for that, I just don’t want to get into some sort of sugar arms-race with competing houses.
Go for a big, full bowl.
Then dump a handful or two into each bag. It doesn’t cost that much to be “That great house where we got all the candy.”
Just ladle it in.
Unless they don’t have costumes. Then it is one mini bag of candy corn. Slackers.
Re: Go for a big, full bowl.
To the ones with no costumes, I’ll say “we don’t need our lawn mowed today. Come back next week.”
Re: Go for a big, full bowl.
If those particular ones are old enough to drive and appear to have access to a pickup truck and a lawn mower, I could use my grass being cut and sticks being picked up.
Handful! A big handful!
Done! Done and done!
Because I don’t need that stuff sitting around my house, anyway.
go with a good sized handfull and then the last kid that comes bye gets the whole pot of left overs. that way you dont rot mini-rockets teeth out of his head.. oh wait was he the one with a love of the toothbrush i think i read that here before uh….. ok do that and then on the first day of november (being monday) go to target and buy an ass load of candy so that he wont feel gypped by his own parents and you will get it for cheap too. the last time i gave out candy at our old house i only had four people come bye and they got there at about 9 p.m. those were some happy 10 year olds when they earch got about 2 lbs. of sugar in their pillow cases
Hey everybody! Let’s go to Daniel’s house for trick or treat! Scooooore.
