lol, not that many came around. i was ready to go to bed at 10:00 and the doorbell rang!

"TRICK OR TREAT!"

I was like, "It's AFTER 10! I got no more candy!"

And they were like "No more candy?! I love you too!"

I was thinking to myself, "WHAT THE F!?!"

The past few years if I was lucky I would see "maybe" six different kids in my apt building.. Then Halloween comes and they all come out of the woodwork... No kidding at least 300 kids! In the past few years I saw $60-$80 of candy fly out the door. I mean.. what do they do bus them in for the evening?

Last year, mabe 6 kids showed.... So this year after living on junk food for a month, I said screw it and decided to put on a movie... killed the lights, kicked back, and hid from the little buggers.

I guess it's a parent thing, I think it's cool to see all the little kids running around in their costumes. Hiding isn't cool. Remember when you were little and there was always one old guy who was home but wouldn't answer the door? That's the guy whose house you always egged when you turned into a teenager.
