Are there many treaters?

Posted by Stormin Mormon on October 31, 2009, 7:15 pm

Last year I got about 50, and it was pretty even between
boys and girls. By 7:15 tonight, 18 boys and 8 girls.

Maybe everyone's worried about the flu? Glad I didn't buy a
lot of candy.

We had a lot, similar to or more than other years. Of course, it was a
Saturday here, temps around 70F. So far less hoodlummy teens than in other
years, but it's only 7:35. As usual, by this time we're out of candy, and
the lights are off and the door closed.

I won't even give out candy until it is dark.

I realize, the so-called scare of trick-and-treaters is only make-belief.
Although, sometimes kids will generate some damage if they are not pleased
with the offerings.

I feel that we are setting a poor example for our children when we encourage
them to scare people with the objective of obtaining goodies.

Maybe they become the adults who hold up banks with toy guns, and then
progress to real guns.

The whole idea of scaring people in order to obtain candies is quite
repulsive - even if it is only make-belief. Are these the principles we want
to imbue in our children?
