Ok The first infant in a stroller for candy just appeared at my door

[Whoa_Nelly]

:wtf:

And then some woman ran up with a grocery sack right behind the baby and dad stroller scene and yelled "Trick or Treat!"

:banghead:

I swear...another adult who shows up with a grocery sack is NOT going to get candy from me

[Whoa_Nelly]

1. Now a neighbor stopped by to show off her baby and baby was chewing on a light stick

:wtf:

Mentioned to her that my g-daughter bit into one a while back, and it squirted into her eye and burned it.

Mom's response: Ya think?

:banghead:

She did take it away from the baby who had just at that moment managed to chew through the necklace plastic loop on the top of the light stick where the string is supposed to go through.

2. I had some teenagers show up in costume and was toting not grocery bags, but pillow cases

I gave them candy just for their creative use of linens

4. We saw the "pillowcase phenomenon" start about 12 years or so among our

older son's contemporaries.

I've always found it kind of vulgar.

8. Oh, please. My older brother and his friends were using pillowcases to

trick or treat with in the 60s. Now they were white pillowcases (well, white when they started out) instead of floral or some solid color but pillowcases all the same.

10. Dang. I had not known it went that far back...

Learn something every day if we pay attention and listen, don't we?

14. Yep. Pillow cases don't get all crinkled and rip like paper bags!

[halobeam]

12. LOL yeah, we used them back in the late sixties too!

We had so many kids in our area. We'd go out, 20+ in a bunch!

[Redstone]

3. That's a bit much. It really is.

[Whoa_Nelly]

5. I remember I had to be "old enough" to T orT

My mom wouldn't let me even start until I was 6, and then I had to stop when I was 13.

Makes sense to me.

6. Those were the Old Days, eve if they weren't that long ago. America has changed.

On so many levels.

9. I started going trick or treating with my son

when he was 3. Just a little around the neighborhood. It was pleasant.

I still go with him of course. We went around a residential neighborhood tonight. Fun.

[Redstone]

11. Oh, no quibble with starting early, in the neighborhood. None at all.

7. I had one so young show up, she didn't even know what candy was!

I applauded the parents on that fact of course. She was so cute, but man what a strange cultural thing we have going.
