Why does Nate care so much? He can just skip his house. The eggs may have some future effects on his house but I’m sure Nate would be happy to see his dad get what he deserves.
Marty: Hey Nate, guess what? I went to the store and bought [insert healthy food item here]! Kids will definitely go crazy for these! Oh, and here’s a very tiny bag for you to put your candy in. When it’s full, you’re done trick-or-treating.
Nate: facepalmhere we go again…
Nate puts on his costume and starts to trick-or-treat with Francis and Teddy. Nate comes back to the house later.
Marty: So, how was your trick-or-treat- Wait, what’s that noise outside?
He opens the window curtain and sees a crowd of at least 50 kids and adults holding pitchforks and torches.
The Crowd: BURN! BURN! BURN! BURN!
Marty quickly closes the window curtain.
Marty: Nate… they’re going to burn our house down!
Nate: Well that’ll teach you a lesson: never give out lame treats on Halloween.
So we aren’t expecting too many trick-or-treaters this year. For those that do show up, I was thinking of handing out those 8-ounce cans of soda instead of candy. My adult son isn’t so sure that it would be a good idea since he feels that kids would be expecting candy on Halloween. Any thoughts?
Real candy (reel kan-dee) Real: adjective, candy: noun (the pronunciation and parts of speech are based on research) Snickers, Milky Way, Reese’s, York Peppermint Patties, M&M’s, 100 Grand, Kit Kat, Twix, etc., or other candy, commonly candy bars, but NOT VEGETABLE RELATED FOODS, OR ACTUAL VEGETABLES!!! NOT THE MAJORITY OF FRUIT RELATED FOODS AND CANDIES, OR ACTUAL FRUITS!!! (although they taste sweet) AND NO OTHER FOODS THAT AREN’T CONSIDERED CANDY, BECAUSE THOSE DO NOT FIT IN ON THE HALLOWEEN CANDY LIST!!!
Can I just say how much I hate Nate’s dad? He makes his children and the kids around the neighbor these “healthy” alternative treats and he sneaks rocky road and candy bars for himself. He’s a fat hypocite.

Why doesn’t he just hand out apples as a treat if he’s all about the health food? It’s not candy, but apples are always great.

I suggest not going trick or treating due to COVID-19. I suggest buying your candy after October 31st, it’s pretty much free after that.
Stay safe on this Halloween season! (Don’t go into any vans either.)
