Hm. Favorite Halloween memory. When I
saw Jeff post this, I vented at my Master "Can't we be past
Halloween?" My memories don't tend to be chained to time, to
dates I remember. I tried to place memories that had anything to do
with Halloween. Failure. I finally thought of the last year I took my
son trick-or-treating- he's a teen now and too big really.
I drove him over to a "rich area"
of the town and we parked. We ran across the street to the
subdivision I was taking him to. I don't even remember what his
costume was that year. We finished off one street. We turned the
curve and went to a house. I immediately noticed how hot the
20-something woman was who answered the door. Glad my son quickly
said "trick or treat." She looked up and down the street,
said "we haven't had many trick-or-treaters" and proceeded
to pour the whole big bowl of candy into my son's pillowcase. With
great glee, he said that was enough and we ran across the street
again, got in the car and went home.
That's a really cute memory and i can see why you'd pick it. made me smile.

on the car ride home, pre-teen, for he must have been still on the younger side that I took him, teased me about the girls :D I was I could remember his costume :D
DeleteI like the not-a-lot-of-walking trick-or-treating. My middle son is usually in agreement and he and I get to go home after just 2 blocks. I love that kid! LOL
ReplyDeletethankfully my son has never been "let's walk a bunch of get a lot of houses"- usually getting the most candy the quickest lol
DeleteThat is cute. But I am with you can we not past Halloween already.....but it was a sweet memory.
ReplyDeleteshrugs, we're not handing out candy, Master is "on relief" status that day so we can't really do anything.
Deletealthough it'll be funny to see what teen decides. I told him I think at almost 15 he's too old to go out, but he's thinking to see if anyone will give him candy anyway lol
Sounds perfect!
ReplyDeleteyeah, it was a fun year
DeleteI used to love taking my kids out trick or treating. I really loved handing out the candy more though. Dressed up as a scarecrow one year...no one could tell I wasn't a real person. I sat on my porch with the bowl of full sized candy-bars in my lap and a note in the bowl that said 'please take only one'. If a kid helped themselves to more, I grabbed there hand and said "Only one".
ReplyDeletelol what a great costume :D i hope next year we manage to pass out candy. the year we did, my Master had a great time.
