Kids were out tonight. The little one in a Halloween Party at Guides, the elder one walking the streets with a friend knocking on doors annoying people demanding candy… and getting it!!
Me? I had a book… and a car… so did a bit of kerb-crawling for two hours . How I wasn’t arrested for trawling along behind two little girls I don’t know… bloody police are useless. Anyway, they seemed to grab a big enough haul of loot before their legs got tired and came home very happy. š
Halloween isn’t exactly an Australia event… mostly USA derived… but so long as we don’t go the whole hog like they do this’ll do. Over here there is no trick in ‘trick or treat’. Kids just knock on doors for candy and are polite even if they are turned away. In the USA the ‘offending’ householders would find their homes pelted with raw eggs and have toilet paper thrown over their roofs and trees.
It’s much more civilised here š
