More Halloween: How Many Trickortreaters Will You Get?

I heard the bell ring about 4 times, only answered it twice. I didn't even have candy . It feels bad to tell the kids: "Sorry, no candy tonight...please don't egg our cars..."

 

I ended up getting about ten.

 

We had exactly one-- a 1 1/2 YO boy named David four houses down the street. We are on a dead-end road; most of the kids on this road are too old for trick-or-treating. Not too many outsiders come into a "neighborhood" comprised of one dead-end street.

 

We ended up only having around 30. Both of the older boys went to richer neighborhoods and came back with little (other than an occational full size candy bar). I took my daughter and her friend around our neighborhood and they cleaned up. Since it was light for us, they were unloading into the 2 cutie's sacks. After 1 hour of TT, they wanted to quit because their sacks were causing their shoulders to go numb since it was so heavy. They had a good 15 lbs of good candy with only 2 hard candies, 0 candy corn, 5 tootsie rolls and 3 of those orange wrapped junk. I asked which house those orange things came from and they remembered. Even at 45, receiving those things makes me want to go back and "trick".

 

Around 10:30PM, I still hadn't had a single trick or treater arrive at my house. Maybe cause I have a crazy gate in front of it, but anyways around 10:35 I see a car pull up. I can tell these ppl are obviously not from our neighborhood. Out of the car pops, two little girls maybe 3 or 4 year olds. I decide to give them each a whole box of Baby Ruth. If this were another year, I would have eaten the candy myself, but this is the new Mr. Brightside- I don't eat chocolate.

So all in all, I got two trick or treaters.

 

We had just over 100.

And we closed up at the busiest time to take our little ones around the block. If we'd stayed open, we would have had another 50 or so.

The whole neighbourhood was mobbed with kiddies. At 8:30, the neighbours closed the street for a big fireworks show.

Pretty cool, overall. Despite the rain.

 

I could understand stumbling around... sinc you're a B(L)oozehound, RMT... but... anybody caught that RMT needs his keys to open from INSIDE? Or is it just me...? WEIRD Halloween story, this unlocking from inside is... creepy...

 

Man, I am going to LAUGH if you answer YES to: have you ever locked yourself IN?

 

I had 0. I live in small condo complex.
