Those sweet treats could lead these little one into a life of diabetes hell. Take it from one that did just that, but oh well...-e-

THIS REMINDS ME OF THE HALLOWEEN I ENJOYED AS A KID. IT COSTS US NOTHING BECAUSE WE DRESSED UP IN REAL OLD CLOTHES AND USED LIPSTICK FOR MAKEUP...ALL OVER OUR FACES. WE DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TAINTED TREATS AND EVEN MORE DANGER, JUST NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS WITH SOCKS FULL OF CRUSH COLORED CHALK. THE NEXT DAY THE ENTIRE BLOCK LOOKED LIKE A PSYCHEDELIC PARADISE...THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLD DAYS. THANKS FOR SHARING, JANE. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS.

Want to give the kids a treat? Give them something to read instead of something to eat. Then watch what scary looks like! LOL

I recall those trick or treaters days very well. Loved this Whole Life Poem.

great time for fantasy and free treats
we also have GUY FAWKES night
kids make a scarecow dummmy effigy (whatever)
and go around the streets with it
asking for PENNY FOR THE GUY

guy fawkes being a catholic who tried
to blow up the Houses of Parliament

now his dummy is put on top of the halloween bonfire
and poor old is burned like a witch

"Mummy chasing" indeed. Parents have to follow their kids nowadays along the route to make sure nothing untoward happens on that hallowed night. Check the loot, polish the tooth, what a hoot, . . . to boot.

These days it's not just the kids. There are plenty of adults out trick or treating as well. Me, I just wait until my g-kids get back and then I raid their loot. And your poem was a hoot.

I do love those wee trick or treaters, good one Jane
