Halloween is coming? Are you ready? Candy is on sale- it will be cheaper November 1st, but all the good stuff could be gone. Remember folks, if you have parents/roommates/spouses/and so on insisting on giving away your candy then run to your bedroom and grab a sheet and a pillow case. Punch some holes in the sheet for eyes and go reclaim what has been taken from you!
Hehehehe, usually I love giving out candy. But last year this grubby little monster grabbed a handful and stuffed it in his bag with his mom right behind hem. I said, "Put some back, hon. We need to have enough so everyone gets some, okay?" And come on, strategy says not to go early if you're greedy. You wait until later when there is a chance that people will be saying "here, take it all, I'm done for the night" and dump the bowl in your bag if they like your costume. Anyway, the kid stared right at me and grabbed another handful as i lowered the bowl for this adorable little girl dressed up like Evil Alice. So i grabbed his bag and said, "Come on kiddo, you're caught." So he knocks the bowl out of my hand and screams- he's about 9. His mom yells at me and then they both storm off leaving a crowd of kids who swoop in, grab all their greedy fists can get and run off into the night. It was time for vengeance.
Don't you remember having to dress up and carry a bag around dark streets, approach terrifying houses with your dad at the beginning of the block talking to some other parents, chiming out "Trick or treat" with a smile plastered on your face while the owner of the house either jumped out to scare the 'candy' out of you or scrutinized your costume for a bit before putting down a bowl and saying "Take ONE." We did it, we got enough candy to last the month, and we had fun.
Now it's hop into a store bought costume, run around well-lit streets with mommy and daddy behind you at the driveway to each house, grab all you can get and get home within an hour... I say we need to take back this holiday. I understand we need to protect the kids from the increasingly sick people out there, but they need to put more into the holiday and stop being so darn greedy.

I had someone give me raisins once. I stared at him, as a six-year-old, and lost all little-girl-cheerfulness as I said, "... It's Halloween... if my parents were worried about sugar they would have given me a lil' pail you buy at the store, not this double-pillow case and orders to look cute and say Twick o Tweeeets..." He just kinda laughed for a bit, then something about diabetes... I dunno, I got the dentist next and nearly died. You can always tell those houses because they're the ones where the kids leave looking bummed instead of running off giggling towards the next house.
