trick or treat was quite a downer this year

our clientele has been steadily dropping over the years. This year almost nothing - maybe 25 or so.

We live in a small midwestern town. When our kids were young our street was the street to hit. 25 years later and we have almost no kids on Halloween.

We closed up early and went to see where everyone was. They were in the new part of town.

There is also a new wrinkle - a 'trunk or treat' kind of thing that takes place before the official t-or-t time. It is a treat trail. We will probably head up there next year.

My neighbor has been here @ as long as we have. The lack of trickers really had him and his wife bummed out. He wasn't too wild about the treat trail, but said they may go that way next year also.

Got a hell of a lot of candy left - big bars all. The last kids that came up got a real treat.

1. I haven't had a trick-or-treater at my place for years

It's been four years since our last trick-or-treater. I didn't even buy treats this year.

The neighborhood has aged and all of the kids are flocking to the newer, bordering neighborhood.

3. Lots of kids last year; only 6 or 7 so far this year.

The weather might have something to do with it - it's not especially cold but it's damp and drizzly, not fun T or T weather. But anyhow I have a ridiculous amount of candy. I'll eat the Almond Joys and try to give away the rest.

6. Way down this year for me, too.

It's not quiet 8:00 yet, but I'd say we've had half the number of last year. I had a feeling and didn't buy much candy this time and I still have some left. As much as I love our little goblins, I have noticed the kids being a little ruder, too. One child, around five years old asked, "Is that all?" and another told me he only wanted Skittles and grabbed a package right out of the bowl I was holding(!) In MY DAY we were grateful for anything and ALWAYS said thank you. Little boogers.

Well, Hell.

I think the taffy cat primitive should sit down a while and think about why kids are that way.

In those cases, they'll probably grow up to be part of the gimme crowd, some of Manny's jackass primitives.

The smart parents also check the local sex offender registry.

The children have to work longer hours at the coal mine to pay for their parents ObamaCare. No Time for childhood, get to work, pay those taxes, support your elders who have stolen your future, kids!

I had one or two try to reach into the bowl of candy.  I moved it quickly, and dropped two treats into each bag I saw last night.  Still have a bunch of stuff left over.
