I have decided that neighborhood Halloween parties suck. They take all of the trick or treaters away from us DINKS. I always make sure to have the good candy, nothing lame here. I don't hate kids, I just don't have any or need any right now but I love Halloween and the parade of kids in costumes.
So all of the good candy I had to give, most of it went to a handful of lame, unsupervised teenagers with no costumes holding out their Bloom grocery store bags. I don't want the candy in the house so I had to shell it out. One kid scored half of the bowl.
Actually there was a little girl whose dad was shoveling the candy from the bowl into her bag, you know, picking out the stuff he wanted.
Next year's Halloween is going to be on a Saturday, maybe Mr. Man and I will have a costume party and ignore the door. I can see next year's Halloween now:
There's a knock at the door:
KID: Trick or treat!
ME/GUEST: Canape? Cheese? Cracker? Stuffed Olive?
Hmm, I do believe I have a plan. Stupid neighborhood Halloween parties, I'll show you. (Whacky cat lady shaking fist in air)
We actually had 11 tricker treaters! 12 if you count the kid that ran away after hearing Gus barking in the back of the house. 1200% increase!
