The kids are out with their mom this year. I usually just put candy in a bowl by the front door, but this year decided to hand it out. It's been fun so dar, but not a ton of kids.

My street is adjacent to a major thoroughfare but has a huge drop a little after our house so it doesn’t get a lot of traction.

I’ve been doing seven years and two houses of full size candy bars and have yet to become “that house” that legends are made of.
You need to stop blasting Springsteen it scares the little ones. And likely more than a few parents as well.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

You mean normally you do it by some kind of honour system, that they won't grab fistfuls?

It only takes one kid who realizes that they're masked up and that it qualifies as trick and treat to dump the bowl in their bag. Surely there must be one little asshole in the neighbourhood.

one kid at 6pm, it's almost 7:30 and I'm still waiting. The first year we lived here, like 12 years ago we had close to a hundred and we had to run out and buy more candy

Yeah. I’m usually out with the kids, so best I can do is leave a bowl. It’s always empty when we get back. I’m certain kids just empty the bowl, but I’d rather have an empty bowl out front than be known as the neighbor who doesn’t take part in trick or treat.

Pretty light here. I was worried I was going to run out, but we had leftovers

We had 3 little kids show up at 9 long after what I thought were the last ones. I just gave them handfuls of what was left.

I had one more group of 4, that was it. :(

You're in Texas now right? What kind of bullets were you handing out?

Im always amused by people who do this and are dismayed that someone took all of the candy.
