Plus, some pieces of last night's conversation regarding trick-or-treaters:
Adam: ...It's like being a prisoner in your own house. It suuuucks. ..... It'll go on 'til eleven at night or some shit...
Then, later:
Adam: (coming in after handing out candy) That's it. I'm done.
Me: laughter
Adam: There was a kid on his cell phone. He said "trick or treat" and then kept talking on his cell phone........And the kid right before him? I gave him two, and he looked at them and said "eh". I'm not even kidding.
Me: a bunch of rude stuff about ungrateful trick-or-treaters. No point in repeating.
Oh. And one more thing. Does anyone feel kind of weird handing out candy? I mean, maybe it's because I'm in this transitional stage between childhood and parenthood (ha --- like a twenty-year "phase"??!), but I would still rather be trick-or-treating. I always did love it, so why would I suddenly stop wanting to go? (besides that it's time I return the favor...)
Well, maybe because I've seen the other end of it. It does get kind of irritating. --- Though I appreciated the cute costumes (the kids who actually had them on) and the "thank yous". (especially Hunter the Dragon...thanks, Tara, for bringing him over!)
How was your Halloween?

I had one bag of candy. I told B, I never know what to do. One candy piece is too little, a handful will be too much if a bunch of kids show up. One kid came before dark. I gave him two pieces of the chocolate bars. Nobody else showed up. That leaves more candy for me! I only buy stuff I like anyway.
When ACGS was 4, she learned about costumes and trick or treating in pre-school. I said, let's stay home so you can see the costumes of the kids who come to the door. It was so cold out, I figured that the costumes would be covered with coats and what is the sense of going door to door, anyway? But nobody showed up. I called my neighbor and asked if she could send her kids over, but she said that they didn't believe in Halloween. That was a dissappointing evening for ACGS.
Apparently, the spirit of all holidays is dead, not just Christmas.
I wore this elaborate (and scratchy) vampire costume all day yesterday at work. It was not easy to work in. Then we went to the bar and had one or two drinks before deciding we were too old and tired and should just go home. I would have actually liked to hand out candy, but there are no kids in our apartment building.
i had my own little bits of decoration but no one in our little road did anything and the few children around here were not doing anything mind you it was pouring with rain all day and night!
We were glad we got to drop by... I can't believe kids trick or treat on cell phones, they must be entirely bored with it, but addicted to sugar. I hope you didn't have to hand out candy until 11!!!
Give them bones to Monty, Laura! Flap your wings! Celebration tonight!
