Petey must go trick or treating just for the experience. Can’t imagine he’d want to eat any of that chocolate with its many fillings as a member of the Picky Eaters Society.
I live in an apartment complex and am friendly with all the children who live in my area – I wasn’t home last evening so ahead of time (later afternoon) I made up baggies of 1 small candy bars each and delivered them to the doors of the apartments where the children live.
Everyone has been scared by the old razor blade in the apples and needles in the candy bars that they don’t let the kids trick or treat anymore. Oh well, three bags of tootsie rolls for me.
This one is kind of sad! I’d have given candy to any child regardless. If they had a costume of something I didn’t understand, I’d kindly ask for clarification. And I would not have given candy to an adult!

Dill better hide out for a week or so; Petey should have brought a spare or 3 of his costume and Dad needs to stop stuffing his face!

No trick-or-treaters came to my place; bought two bags of miniature Twix bars.

Poor Petey. Another scathing commentary ruined.

So Dad was costumed as The Next Door Neighbor’s Description of the Recently Arrested Serial Killer. Scary!

Wait, Dad dressed up as serial killer? I didn’t notice, either.

The moon is just about right too, except it didn’t come up until about 3:00am. I almost didn’t recognize Mr. Otterloop in his costume!

Eight years, huh. I admire your persistence.

i would have given extra treats to the three of them for their uniqueness of their choices of one-of-a-kind costumes.

It’s those quiet ones who always keep to themselves that you have to worry about.

Wait. Isn’t Daddy’s costume the description of “Serial Killer Next Door Neighbor”?

Hmm. Dad’s genes have trickled down to Petey and Alice which explains a lot now.
