How old is too old to go Trick-or-Treating

[sugar142286]

A few years back we had a kid show up like this. I was in the middle of a remodel project and we had all of our food storage stuff in a closet by the front door. This kid just stood there staring, didn't say a word, wasn't dressed up, just had the pillow case.

Too bad for him that i answered the door. He would have scared the girls to death with that stare of his.

I was in a mood and grabbed one of those small cans of tomato paste, fully expecting it to be thrown through one of my windows and spread all over one of my cars.

I threw it in there so fast he couldn't see what it was but by the heft of it he felt like he really scored and he smiled broadly and did say thank you.

I sat there waiting for a reaction...after about 15 seconds, long after he had left my walk I heard loud laughter and cautiously walked out to by my garage and saw him with two other boys, on the lawn, rolling with laughter. They were passing the tomato paste between each other's bags as I watched them walk down the street.

Nothing ever came of it but my wife was furious with me because she said the can I gave him was old and past his expiration date.

I'm not sure if I am supposed to laugh, but Jeff, you have me LOL!!!

I think I was right in the middle of middle school when I stopped and started handing out candy (though I did enjoy putting on scary make-up to scare the kids).

As long as the kid/teen dresses up (and NOT like a tramp), they can get candy. If they just do the pillow case thing? Forget it.
