Trick or Treat

As Halloween approaches, I started to think about why kids even go trick or treating. When we were kids, we never got shit. So getting candy for free was a big deal for us. Now kids get playstations, xboxes, and many other great gifts. I am sure getting a free Snickers bar doesn’t have the same effect that it had on us. I have even less respect for the parents who take their kids out for Halloween. If I had kids, I think this is how Halloween would be for my kids.

Kid: Dad, can I go trick or treating?

Me: No and that’s final.

Kid: But dad, all my friends are going.

Me: How long will you be out?

Kid: I promise I’ll be home by 8.

Me: Ok but make sure you only bring back treats. I don’t want you to bring home any tricks. Your mother won’t like that.
