#102 November 5:
One more Halloween observation: I
love trick-or-treaters. I loved making
costumes when my children were young, though I never figured out how to handle
the bounty of candy they brought home:
do you just let them pig out for a day and then dump it… or put it on
top of the refrigerator and dole it out slowly?
Of course you confiscate the Snickers!
This year we participated in a “trunk-or-treat” at our church that was
well attended with a diversity of children from our preschool and the
neighborhood. At my house, we had one
lone trick-or-treater. Uptown just doesn’t
have many children. One of my favorite
things to do is to turn the “trick or treat” around on the children and ask
them for a trick (especially the 8-10-year-olds.) Here is my observation: after giving me a puzzling look, they “get it”
and then invariably do a cartwheel! That
is a trick for a 10-year-old! LOL… Even
my lone trick-or-treater in 4th Ward did a cartwheel! I only had one exception: a real cutie dressed in green wings, thought
about it for a minute, gave me great eye contact and then said, “Boo!”… I gave
them all extra candy, but she got double! 11/1
