I know there are a few of you out there and hey, parents get as much joy out of Halloween as their kids do. (Or so I've been told!) So I'd like to ask you this:
1) What will your little darlings be dressing up as this year?
2) What do you filch from their treat bags under the pretense of 'inspecting their candy'?
Please indulge me as my building doesn't allow trick-or-treaters in:-(

Not a parent but I do have some information. According to the AM radio I listen during my commute, apparently costume stores say that "Spiderman" is a popular costume among little ones. I also remember the case of "poisoned/razor blade in the apple" candy. Apparently, the kid who was given the bad candy was given it by a relative, with no other contamination cases reported in the U.S. (  ). Well, I don't believe everything I read but the I guess the author wanted to make the point inspections, although preventative, are probably less necessary than people think. --Although it was written several years back so... who knows about the sickos now?  So filching... parents don't need to filch |

Honestly, I'm going to get a little revenge from my childhood ages from the kids who pointed fingers at me because I didn't wear a costume... Actualy I got a bit of revenge, a kid tried to steal my candy and I ran him over with my bike... I'm going to sit in my house and give out candy, when people knock at the door I'll aim my paintball gun at them and see how fast they take off...  And if they don't, they get candy... |

Some people are as charming as ever...
My two nieces are going to be dressed as Gorgons and my nephew as Perseus with Medusa's head, and to scare you they are 7,9, and 10 and came up with the idea on their own.
Their candy gets tossed through the fire department's x-ray machine because it makes their mother feel safer.
I don't filch candy as I am not allowed to have more than a piece. The rest of the adults around me generally settle for eating the leftover candy purchased for giving away. When I was a kid though all of the black, yellow, and orange wrapped peanut butter awful stuff went to my dad as he loved it.

ha im not a an adult or a kid, but i know all the drills, last year for halloween i didnt go trick or treating, though in school hours i walked around as the grim reaper on stilts, and didnt say a word through out the day, i think pointing at an english teacher was quite the metaphore, no adults are too old to dress up, i know i plan on breaking out that costume in the future muahahaha. ;D

Now you can't provide us with a mental image like that and not provide a picture:-D Adults do still dress up... the train into school, and campus yesterday was dotted with the occasional cowboy/girl, pixie, pirate and miscellaneous monstrosity. I was going to wear a fairly simple witches' hat for my students the year past but my class wasn't close enough to Halloween:-( I did bring candy though. Hanah .... yeah yeah my students already knew me to be witchy |

My son's dressing as an Uruk-Hai from LotR. He made the mask by cutting up a Batman mask and pasting it with a white hand, then taped black paper around a hockey stick for the sword. Generic vampire teeth for more ugliness.
I didn't really have the urge to forge him black armor, so we settled for a black sweatsuit.

LOL @ Hanah The last time I dressed up for my students on Halloween it involved dyeing myself and a 2000lb horse green and making him wear ripped up purple pants down his front legs with a pair size 17 mens shoes ripped out and flopping from his front hooves. Me and Little Sandy scared the tar out of students' horses, and I spent most of the class shouting at them to stay centered because anyone that fell off was doing an extra hour at 5am on saturday morning.  |

Kids coming every year to mess up the front of your house 'cos you've run out of goodies to give them.... ugh... darn little brats!!! My super soaker ran overtime this year. God help those brats next year, the paintball gun idea has been etched into my mind!! MWahahahaha!!! |
