Probably 30 or so kids tonight. Got down to about a dozen pieces of candy. Actually a pretty slow night.

We had about 30. That's what we get for being in a townhouse complex on an otherwise residential cookie-cutter house street.

The best costume I saw was some kid, prolly a 12yo guy, wearing a prison striped jumpsuit, carrying a sign that said "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."

I didnt have any kids at my house, but thats what you expect when you live almost in the middle of nothing . I was at my girlfriends house in barrington rhode island and she had about 45 kids total I would say, giving out king size candy bars!!!

Most of our town is wicked rural.
I feel bad for the folks one street over though, they are closer together than most and high end housing too boot.
Cars from all over town show up with parents dropping their kids.

Rick hides out in the TV room. Halloween is my job. I'm still amazed at the number of teenagers out trick or treating.

Here's a question, should the adults in costume (I'm talking parents) have their own for treats?

A family of Crayola Crayons showed up. Mom, Dad and a kid. They all had bags for treats. I didn't have any issue passing out the candy, I didn't want left overs, but thought it was different.

I think that's just dumb. The way I see, it, Trick or Treating has 4 options:

1) You are a kid, you go out in costume, you get candy.

2) You are an adult, you give out candy to kids

3) You are a parent, you supervise your kid getting candy.

4) You don't participate in anything.


If your kid is young enough to require that level of supervision, you probably will get to eat their leftovers anyways. I think they're just cheating the system by asking for their own.

Excellent reply. I thought it strange.

Now, next year, when you put your baby into a costume, be sure to tell folks the candy you receive is for him and not you.
