For the first time in my adult life I’m not at college on Halloween (just graduated) and I’m passing out the candy for my household. I always knew going without a costume on Halloween was lame but now that I’m seeing it from the eyes of an adult passing out candy, I can see it is actually REALLY lame. Do y’all pass out candy to kids not wearing a costume on Halloween?
Edit: The comments here are pretty unanimously on the side of passing out candy no matter what, and I don’t disagree. Trick or treat is a very big thing in my neighborhood, so it has surprised me to see as many kids without costumes as I have. Still, I try to not make assumptions, I’ll just be a chill adult and do the job of passing out the candy either way. I appreciate yall’s input!
If a 45 year old not wearing a costume and strung out on Ketamine says trick or treat at my door, they’re getting candy.
What am I, the fucking Halloween police? ACAB.
“A 45 year old not wearing a costume and strung out on Ketamine” OR a kid in the greatest costume ever?
There goes Vincent Adultman all strung out on ketamine again.
I love this energy.
I know what I’m doing with my evening now.
Is everyone getting the same candy or do you have “kid” candy and “adult kid” candy? Asking for a friend.
ACAB means all candy any body
Why do you think his whole neighborhood is on ketamines?
Yeah, there’s any number of reasons a kid might not have a costume. Finances, health, sensory issues, the list goes on.
Its free candy day, who gives a shit just give out free candy! ❤️
Yes, definitely give everyone treats. Not everyone has the opportunity to dress up for various reasons.
A lot of the kids in my neighborhood are Muslim and it seems the girls aren’t allowed to wear costumes if they are hijabis. I’m not excluding them because of a stupid religious thing.
Yes. Because for the kids that show up at my door without a costume, candy is probably not in their family budget, at all, ever. I load em up.
You come to my door. You get candy.
Young, old, costume or not.
You get candy.
Sometimes it’s not the kids’ fault. I’d say most of the time the parents need to be involved in some way with the costume (buying, making, helping to make) and some kids just don’t have present parents so I don’t want to punish them for that.
Also I really don’t want leftover candy in my house (because I’ll eat it) so…
Sure. Life’s hard enough.
If they show up I hand out the candy and I’ve been doing it that way for decades. No telling some kid or teens situation in life and there’s no need in making it harder on them.
My wife used to get all grumpy with high school kids (and sometimes even adults) trick or treating. I told her, I’m glad to see anyone that still has that spirit and energy. And if they don’t have costumes… They probably can’t afford them. Worst case, they’re doing something better than the trouble they could be up to.
… But fuck those people that take the whole bowl at houses with no one home.
We invited another friends’ family over to sit at a table in our driveway. Had dinner, chatted, handed out lollies to about 40 kids, gave them compliments on their costumes. The 10 who were without costume got the same lollies and “Happy Halloween”. I remember what it is to be a kid.
The parents chaperoning kids around are usually not in costume.
As for our decorations and costumes, we had fake spider and snake out, I dressed up family members in a sugar-skull shirt, and I wore a NIN Ghosts shirt.
Before heading out front, my dad-joke got a groan, when I said, “I am dressed as ghosts!”
Excellent joke. No notes.
My costumeEdit OH the kids not having a costume
I don’t care I’m having fun.
You better not suddenly move and frighten me.
It’s free candy day, so yea.
Are you Larry David?
Anyone who shows up at my door gets candy
As no one has this year, or the last several years
