Transcript:
Laura: Okay, Adam. Remember: don't buy any more Halloween candy. We have enough already and you overbought last year. We had leftovers for months. Adam: No problem. My willpower is legendary. Well, maybe one bag while I'm here. With these low prices I'd be foolish not to buy. Laura: Adam! What is all this? I told you not to buy any more candy! Did you buy any groceries? Any meat? Fruit? And don't give me your line about candy corn being a vegetable! Adam: Sahw-wee.

I have Kissses from last Halloween..truly. But no Butterfingers or Heath Bars. Only two kids last year and they were adorable babies being shown off by Dad.

We havenāt had trick or treaters in a few years either. And there are kids around here. I think around here itās not as big of a deal anymore. And yes, I love the days after holidays, candy is always on sale!

We never get trick or treaters either. The only candy that I keep in the house is Dutch licorice. If I had dark chocolate I would be into it all the time. Did I mention thatā¦

We donāt have very many trick-or-treaters either. We live in a brand new tract where there are lots of kids, but only the next-door neighbor family came by last year. Our old place, on the other hand, had a constant parade of costumed children. One year I took photos of all of my visitors, and I had more than 30 pictures and most of them had 3 or more kids in them.

No trick-or-treaters here either, but I do go for the āafterā sales. I buy the kisses and use them in my Christmas cookies.

Why is it men never seem to have any āwillpowerā even when they think they do? ;) When I buy candy I put some in the candy dish, have couple for myself(husband eats most of it) then hide the restā¦.If I donāt I wouldnāt hardly get any. I take 2-3 for his 10. Seriously!

These days, most parents I know do not allow their kids to go trick-or-treating to houses of people they donāt know. Generally, they take them to a church or other organization who has some sort of party where the kids can wear their costumes and collect candy. They might take the kids by neighbors, grandparents and other relatives or friendsā houses, but not to strangers. Between the risk of getting hit by a car while walking after dark, in costumes that might not allow the best visibility or quick movement, and the people out there who donāt have the best interests of your child at heart, many parents have decided to do something different.

and i find that very sad, somehow. but i canāt blame them. iām never home on the night, any more (thatās when i work) but my condo asks residents to donate a bag of candy each for the kids to go to the lobby to collect treats. last year we hardly handed out any, according to the volunteers.
