yeah, my thing is, if it is a 2 year old at my door, fine with the paper bag, but if you are in hs, can't you stick a pumpkin sticker on it or something?

My nieces trick-or-treated into high school, but they totally did it in costume. I see too many older kids without costumes in my neighborhood.
Speaking of nieces, the 19-yo is going to her college party as Katniss Everdeen. I'm so proud!

We went as our characters in the play. We were really a bunch of theatre geeks!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Yeah, I have no problems with teens getting candy, if they are in proper costumes. PROPER costumes, mind you. ::grump::
I went out, but I always in costume, and usually escorting a cousin or something.

Cool!
Calli, as you can tell, I never came and got candy. But I never got any trick-or-treaters, either. I think they come for your cat.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I don't mind teens or even adults if they have put a bit of effort into a costume. ON the other hand some of the ones who have not look like they could be homeless, so everybody who does not actually say something on the lines of "trick or treat motherfucker" gets something.
I figure, if Samuel L. Jackson wants to go trick-or-treating, who's going to say no to him?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm trying to remember my high school costumes. I was a gypsy once. Blue Meanie, with my hair made into the ears. Fifties girl, which was actually a leftover costume from a production of Grease I'd been in a few months earlier. And, I can't remember what else. I remember that it included green tights, but I can't remember what the rest of the costume was.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
My poor nephew. He's not quite 12 yrs old, but he's 5'10". I'll bet most people look at him and think he's too old for trick or treating.
I've never had kids come to my door in this apartment so I didn't even get just-in-case candy.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
It's not being teenagers per se that irritates me. It's being teenagers with no costumers who grab teen-sized handfuls.

Because books.

I drop candy into the bags, I don't offer the bowl. That way lies having to buy too much candy, and/or not having any left over.
I closed the door and shut off the porch light. It's 6 to 8 here, so I feel justified. And I'm tired now. The kids are picking through their loot and I'm practically ready for bed.
