Just a little while ago a group of kids rang the doorbell, and said "Today is Halloween can you give us candy." I said I know what today is and I am not going to give you candy because you didn't dress up. They had their regular clothes on and had pumpkins painted on their face. Ok I'll give them a little credit for the face paint. But there was no Trick-or-Treat or Happy Halloween.
Then, one kid was like I'll give you this fruitcake if you give us candy. I mean I know they just wanted FREE CANDY but why would I give them candy, when I dressed up every year for Halloween.
Finally I said "I am American, I know what Halloween is because we invented it and you are not dressed up so therefore I will not give you candy" So they left sad and probably angry but I am not going to let a holiday that I enjoyed as a kid be continued without the same traditions.
Last year, some kids tried the same thing and I was like I have chocolate chip muffins or apples and they didn't want either of them. So I guess like any other kid, these kids wanted FREE CANDY!
What are you thoughts ? Would you give candy to kids that weren't dressed up ?
