MikeJD 0 #26 November 1, 2010 Not a one. Maybe switching off all the lights and hiding on the floor had something to do with it. Trouble is, most of the trick or treaters round my way look a bit like this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #28 November 1, 2010 Quote Seems like they should be able to abide by the simple rules... None of them has done a single trick yet. Ahhh, but they aren't supposed to. Halloween used to be a night of mischief, pranks, and outright vandalism. Then people got the idea of bribing the little gits with candy and other treats. Therefore, Halloween is like a ritualized shakedown, a protection racket like any good mob runs. They come to your door and ask "trick or treat?" instead of saying "You'se gots a real nice place heah, mistuh. It'd be a shame if anyting was ta happen to it."

JohnMitchell 16 #29 November 1, 2010 Quote I even made one little kid cry because I told him he had taken enough. That was a first! Good for you. I'm glad you burst his self-centered bubble. His parents should have taught him better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #30 November 1, 2010 Quote I'm glad you burst his self-centered bubble. Thanks! The kid threw himself down on the sidewalk and cried. I wasn't mean, I just used a "mom" voice. I told the boy's mom he could have another piece and she said, "that's ok...his act is part of his costume." I think she was a little embarrassed!She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMitchell 16 #31 November 1, 2010 It takes a lot of guidance over a long time to raise good kids, as you well know. Sounds like junior was giving mom some chances to coach-and-counsel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheCaptain 2 #32 November 1, 2010 I am not sure how many we had, at times there would be a line 15 people long getting to our front door. We went through $100 in candy the fun size handing out 2 to each and were out of candy by 7:45. There were people out trick or treating past 9PM in our neighborhoodKirk He's dead Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snotty kids got a plastic Easter egg full of water. By the time the kid got to the end of the sidewalk, the paper bag was dropping candy and we had a net gain on that kid. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Don 0 #35 November 1, 2010 Once again I go back to my old trick. The paper Pixie Stix, Make sure your hand is down inside their bag, then.. snap! When they get home all their candy is coated in a mess. I am NOT being loud. I'm being enthusiastic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeNReN 0 #36 November 1, 2010 So I now have enough candy to last me a week or 3 as we bought for 100 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #37 November 2, 2010 Quote Where we live, they did trick or treating last night. Not a ton of kids, but we expected that. The ones we did have didnt seem to know the rule that you have to say "trick or treat" for candy, though. Btw, saw way too many teenage girls dressed up as slutty Dorothies, vampires, bunnies, etc. I mean really folks, I cant believe so many parents let their kids out of the house the way they did There were a few moms out with their kids Saturday night in the neighborhood my friend lives in. They were the ones dressed like prostitutes, and they were actually hot!

It's TRAINING, Billy! Geez, you don't expect a kid to turn 18 and be let loose on the world with no training, do you? Good Moms do their job and train their kids well. Kudos to the Moms! We need more high quality, well-trained sluts in the world. Well, I do anyway.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

One mom came with her son to the door and said, "oh, Almond Joy, those are my favorite. Get one of those!" He gave her an ungly look like "don't even think about eating my chocolate".
