I might have to buy candy this year. Last year I was visited by two little girls and mother that were friendly with my grandmother. Caught me off guard. They were so sad I had no Halloween candy they each gave me some from their little pumpkins. I honestly tried to refuse but then they looked even more depressed.


Boy did I feel like a heel.


Ouch! It's amazing sometimes how a couple of kids can make an adult feel like an a$$ sometimes! Now Marc, if those same two come to your house this year, you might want to buy a couple of full sized candy bars to give to them this year, kind of as a "make-up" offering, and atleast in my book, that would be full 100% payback on your part :)

On the street that I live on, it's young kid central, with close to 50% of the 40 or so houses that make up my development having kids of trick or treating age, so we're always stocked up. And since many of the kids/parents are patients of mine, and I generally do the handing out the candy duties in the house, many of them get a chuckle that their dentist is giving them the same stuff that I tell them when their in my office NOT to eat too much of :rolleyes: Of course this year with Halloween being on a Saturday, I'll have to make up a bit larger batch of the spiked cider that I usually handout in a "take out" coffee cup to the moms and dads walking with the kids :)

Right, candy.

That's a better idea than my friend's suggestion of dressing up like Freddy Kruger and scaring them away so they won't come back.

i'm into Reeses too !

Our hood does it up big even tho not too many young children live here , But they come in in van loads . Several neighbors and me and the Queen dress up in costume and meet the kids on the porches and have fun with them . ! The kids are great, they love the teefster and when i had my black labs i'd ask the little ones if they wanted to to FEED my Wolf .

Their parents usually laff at the sillyness but hey i don't plan on growing up anytime soon .
