dixieskydiver 0 #27 November 1, 2005 I don't think we had very many either. Weird. I think I saw more grownups in costumes at college today than little kids tonight.

SkymonkeyONE 3 #29 November 1, 2005 We had maybe twenty kids come by last night. Some weren't even dressed in costumes! Very, very slack. I would expect that our neighborhood would be swamped since it's basically one big loop with no speeding cars and lots of kids and people walking dogs.

And, yeah....only about 20 kids came by (if that). Now I have all this freakin' candy and the people at work would kill me if I brought it there for consumption (they are all on diets, you see). Anyone want some candy? ltdiver Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They started up around 3:00 and I shut out my porch light at 8:00. We almost ran out of candy! Mostly small kids too, with their parents or older siblings! We did get a couple of teenagers who were really too old to be trick or treating- one of them was smoking! But, they were dressed up, so they got candy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites flyangel2 2 #33 November 1, 2005 I refuse to give candy to the teenagers. I tell them that I have a limited amount, and that it's for the younger ones. They always seem okay with that. IMO, teenagers are too old to be out trick or treating.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

If they were taking the little ones around, I figured they earned a little candy. The two I saw that were trick or treating on their own were definitely too old to be trick or treating, but I gave them candy anyway because they made me laugh. Besides, I had already decided my cutoff was 8:00 and they showed up at 7:45 and I knew I had enough candy to last 15 more minutes!
