What an ass. SS11 went TOTing. SS15 was going to go 'chaperone' him and his friends, but one of the other kid's parent went. So he decided he was too old and stayed home. I was sad for him.
I will give candy to anyone that comes to our door on Halloween. DH was all huffy because we had a lot of teens and a lot of kids in "bullshit costumes" and even a middle aged adult. Stop being a grinch DH! ToT is fun and I would still be doing it if it was socially acceptable.
I don't know why people get annoyed by this. So you're out a fun sized butterfinger. Not a huge hit. Just give out the candy and be nice!
We had a total of 3 ToTs last night, all under the age of 7. I'm smack in the middle of a condo complex where a ton of units are vacant this time of year, so I'm pretty sure any kids that bother with our neighborhood at all give up long before they get to my unit. It's such a bummer.
Anyway, I would have given out candy to ANYBODY that showed up at my door last night and not batted an eye. "Oh, you're not ToT, you're actually here to murder me? At least take a Twix first"
We had some teen boys with their little brothers. I gave them all candy!
Me too!!! I said they deserved it for bein such good brothers (& of course, because I hoped it meant they might steal a little less when they get home- ha!)
We give candy to everyone who comes to our door. I'd prefer they were in costume, but whatever. Last night we had a group of teenagers who were all in really awesome costumes. They came up and apologized for being old, but said they loved Halloween and wanted to show off! They were so polite and fun and I told them they were always welcome. But, we also give out glasses of wine to the parents so maybe I'm the crazy one. I do love Halloween.
It was crazy in our neighborhood last night. There were over 100 kids that came thru and every age group was covered. I even saw a grandma decked out as a witch that went door to door with her kids and had her own candy bag. We were with her group for awhile and she was hilarious, she was soo into it. I don't think anyone is too old to TOT.
