Very nice, thank you.
A reminder about trick or treaters
Saw this and thought I'd share it. Sometimes we pass small judgments without even thinking.

Yeah, I agree! I hope you don't mind, but someone shared a great article with me the other day along these lines & I think it's perfect to add here -

If you come to my house on Halloween and act like you want candy, I give you candy!

I think the same sentiments should be extended to adults in everyday life. Because you never really know do you?
For example, the other day this lady leaned out of her car and screamed "HONK IT OUT B****!!!" because someone beeped their horn at her.
Clearly, she must have a terrible case of smelly feet, or unsightly green warts, or... Maybe I'm not doing this right....?
Jenn&Matt - I loved that article!! It reminded me of the awkwardness and disapproval of my mother at first when I got older and after a few sad Halloweens spent handing out candy alone (or not out of bitterness lol) I just said what the heck I'm going out!
I am absolutely ashamed to say that one Halloween I ALMOST said "Aren't you kind of old to Trick or Treat?" To these 2 girls who looked to be about 15 - and were clearly having the night of their lives! Smiles from ear to ear - no costumes. Now, I can clearly see I was just projecting my own Halloween bitterness onto them.
So, If someone is grumpy to you or your kids on Halloween - give them the benefit of the doubt as well!
I still feel bad that I almost said that to them! Yikes!

I hear you on that one. Fun times involving drunks, especially
Despite my overall dislike regarding humanity, I try not to judge people too harshly until they give me a good reason (the sad part is that it generally does not take long to be given one). The only way that I would look down on a ToTer would be if they were rude, which there is no call for. I wonder how many kids are now going to use a supposed 'lack of motor skills' to excuse their grabbing for five pieces of candy instead of one
The safest bet is to pass out bags, avoiding at least two points made on the list.
