It's a Halloween miracle!

[phylodog]

I'm walking my neighborhood so my daughter can enjoy the rituals. I've lived here seven years now and somehow I've failed to notice the fact that we have over four hundred kids living here. I'm watching car after car pull up and unload kids, i just can't figure out why they would need to drive if they live in the neighborhood?

Same deal at my parents' house. I lived here for 15 years and somehow failed to notice that we've seen roughly 300 kids so far tonight.

 

[hoosierdoc]

They did that where we rented a house at year. Literally hundreds of kids.

Because they and/or their parents are too fat/lazy to walk.

I don't have my porch light on because I'm surfing INGO and writing a paper, but I've had three rings of my doorbell. I can only assume that the people think the carriage lights on my garage mean that I'm "open" and are coming up. I guess they don't realize that we don't have streetlights and every house in the neighborhood has (or should have) those lights on the garage lit from dusk to dawn. I do sorta wonder if those kids don't live in the neighborhood, but I can't imagine that many kids being dropped off in this area.

in my neighborhood it's both.

 

[Colt556]

Yep, I get a lot of kids that don't live anywhere near here. They come to my neighborhood b/c their HOOD doesn't give out candy. A surprising number of them are teens and some older!!

 

[MrsGungho]

we've had the large number of children here also. Gate on the fence is locked, dogs are locked inside and my porch light is off... haven't had any problems.

 

[phylodog]

I can't honestly say why this pisses me off so badly but it does. I'd have no problem if they were friends or family of the people in the neighborhood but they aren't.

It is all a conspiracy by the Democratic party. You train kids in their formative years to get them to be accepting of the handout lifestyle. Walk around, go door to door with your handout and get a reward, good boy...gooooood booy .

 

[singlesix]

Lights off and they still ring the doorbell.

 

[SmileDocHill]

Nobody has taken a single sample size floss dispenser OR a business card from the honor system bucket on our porch. What gives?!

 

[SmileDocHill]

I gotta get to bed. The "Christmas rush" for dentistry starts tomorrow.

There were some chubby kids out tonight. I felt guilty for diving them candy.

Next year: slimfast bars or something.

This. they bus them in. We used to always take our kids to the well to do neighborhoods.

 

[Smokepole]

Here we don't see people truck their kids in. Just get the locals. Still see about 60 or more kids in the evening though. Just the right amount of kids. We always overbuy on the candy, so in the last hour we are giving it out by the handful. The kids eyes about come out of their heads when I give them a handful. A lot of the houses give out candy a piece at a time.

We have a huge rep.

It is because that rule has still not been around long enough to take full effect. Takes a while to train the sheople

that rule was around when I was a kid... way to long ago

 

[hornadylnl]

We've had 2 and we had a good idea they were coming. They ain't bussing them in out here. I'm glad I didn't have to drive mine all over the countryside for $10 worth of candy this year.
