My sister is 23 and still dresses up and goes out knocking doors for candy… and I find it weird but I let her do her. It got me thinking, at what age do you think someone should stop Trick r Treating at? Just curious.

      And that’s the problem. People have started focusing on the candy as the point. It’s the dressing up and having fun that’s supposed to be the point.

      By that logic, the kids’ parents have jobs so they can buy their own kids their own goddamn candy.

        We do. But on Halloween, we trade showing off our children in cute costumes for candy. And I mean… I also buy candy for the other kids.

        It’s a holiday.

        Teenagers in costumes are less cute.

        I’ll pass out candy to anyone who comes to the door, and I like offering to parents as well, but I judge parents that have a big bucket for themselves the same way I judge people that empty bowls at unattended houses. Just because it’s technically allowed doesn’t make it approved.
