You know you are too old to
Trick or Treat when:


10. You get winded from knocking
on the door.

9. You have to have another kid
chew the candy for you.

8. You ask for high fiber candy
only.

7. When someone drops a candy
bar in your bag, you lose your
balance and fall over.

6. People say: "Great Boris Karloff Mask,"
and you're not wearing a mask.

5. When the door opens you yell, "Trick
or ..." and can't remember the rest.

4. By the end of the night, you have
a bag full of restraining orders.

3. You have to carefully choose a
costume that won't dislodge your
hairpiece.

2. You're the only Power Ranger in
the neighborhood with a walker.

And the number one reason Seniors
should not go Trick Or Treating..

*
1. You keep having to go home to pee.


No matter, have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN
anyway.


Toodles

Nice. Thanks for sharing Frank.

My highlights of the evening:

1. The next door neighbor's 2 year old boy on his first "trick or treating" excursion to our house. We put candy in his little pumpkin bucket, and he promptly reached in and put it back in our candy pile. Repeat 3 times. Funny as could be.

2. The little boy that asked for water because he was "really twirsty" and then declared it the best Halloween ever when I gave him a cup.

3. The other little boy who yelled at me to "hurry up" because I gave his sister candy first. His mother did apologize, but he didn't. Twerp.

And so far no eggings.

We have been in our house ten years and no trick or treators yet. We are in the country off a private road. it is about a 1,000' walk uphill between houses. We see them a few miles away in the more densely populated subdivision. Oh well, no soaped windows either, but they would have to get past our three big dogs. Country livin'...heheheh

And my 2 year old next door neighbour banged on my door declaaring 'twick or tweat, Raine!' And then he examined each goodie I put into his bucket with absolute amazement, checking with his father that this was really all for him.

Later a little girl asked me if I had a cat. After telling her I did, she demanded to see it - I had to go in, get the cat out of the cage I'd put him in so he wouldn't dash outside every time I opened the door. She was thrilled, declared he was a good 'purrer' and very soft.

The little ones are so cute.

Unfortunately, there weren't very many kids out this year and I have tons of junk left over. Can't imagine why they didn't come out, it was a perfect evening - clear and not too cold.

So fun to hear the stories about little trick-or-treaters - they are sooooo cute.

This was the first year I didn't go out with the kids - they went trick-or-treating with friends and didn't want parents along. I've always loved going out with them, yet it was very nice to stay home and see everybody who came to the door.

The dog had a wonderful day - he loved having both me and hubby home all day. He helping me rake leaves and cleaned up bits of pumpkin that fell on the floor - and all the candles and flashlights - I've never seen a dog get so much joy out of moving light sources!
