Friday Fun

Frightful Friday

1. Do you get a lot of trick or treaters at your house?

We have a steady stream of them between about 5 and 7. Trick-or-treat hours usually run 4-8 around here, so that's fine. There are LOTS of kids in the neighborhood, so yeah...lots of doorbells.

2. Do you have problems with more tricksters than treaters in your neighborhood?

Not really. Some years, the older kids make a pass through the neighborhood later at night to snag everyone's pumpkins and then smash them in the street. Kind of annoying, but as long as it's after Halloween (sometimes they do it before), I don't really care.

3. What is the best costume you have seen?

Oh, I don't know. I have no long-term storage for this kind of thing. I just like to see the kids' excitement.

4. In your opinion, at what age should a kid stop trick or treating?

Sometime in middle school, I think. I don't care; if the kid is costumed (not just 'dressed up as a teenager') and still willing to do it, more power to him (or her). If they just show up begging for candy, I get annoyed.
