I saw only 8 kids that I knew trick-or-treating last night. The rest didn't come from our neighborhood... A few of them made me think about giving out straight edged razor blades. If you're going to go out for Halloween getting candy from people, at least don a costume.
Absolutely!! I'm 24 & I went trick or treating last night with two 26 years olds. hehe. Yeahh, we were afraid we'd get 5-10 years in prison for asking for candy from strangers. hehehe. =)
Yeah, nothing ever made sense to me as to why Halloween was not only an exception to the "don't take candy from strangers" rule, it was outright ENCOURAGED!
I have devoted the last decade of my life to completely reversing a once crippling case of ADD, through the healing power of ooh! You know what would be awesome right now? Nachos.

Nothing says "Stranger Danger" like a man in a windowless van.

The Spouse Sparrow would take pictures of all the serial killer vans that he saw in our old ghetto neighborhood.
He has a lot of pics.
But in our old neighborhood you'd have to be handing out dime bags to get the kids over. Candy is for kids in the 'burbs.

Sure, put the kids in prison. Then I get all their candy.
Is that not how this works?
