See I grew up when we had a block party and everyone brought their home made wares. We bobbed for apples are donuts and drank apple cider. The adults drank coffee or alcohol of some sort.
My child grew up that way for the most part. Not as many participated and many complained that we didn’t provide store bought chocolate
Tonight I sit helping out some friends. Some of the children are delightful. Some are just down right rude. That’s ok because my job is to teach them manners. Please and thank you still are the keys
My kid is 5. I made her return to several houses after the fact in order to say Thank You. I noticed that folks liked that. It was a welcome respite from the creeping mexi-vans that pull up and excrete rude illegal children.
