I am always the treat maven at our house on Halloween, while the QC wanders the neighborhood with the younger boys, drinking a beer with the other husbands and making sure the kids don't throw up from too much sugar before they even get home. I answer the door, exclaiming over costumes and admonishing the much older kids still out begging for candy they could buy themselves. This year, I think I shall have two treat bowls.
Bowl One: An extravaganza of delectables. All the best, regular-sized, deluxe candy bars. Twix, Snickers, Milky Way, Reese's, Hershey's, you-name-it. Freely given, shared, straight from the heart. "Take two; they're small."
Bowl Two: Obamalicious gifts." Condoms. Union cards. Planned Parenthood leaflets offering abortion services. Copies of An Inconvenient Truth and other liberal best-sellers. Carbon cap-and-trade credit slips. Graphic sex-ed pamphlets explaining homosexual erotic technique for the teen-agers and fairy tales about two-mommy and two-daddy homes for the younger set. Or maybe just little slips of paper explaining that we aren't giving out candy this year because Hershey's has too large of a carbon footprint as it is.
Or maybe I'll give the kids a "choice." They can give me some of their already-collected delights to put in my bowl to redistribute to kids who seem to have less.
I'm sure my strategies would lead to some interesting discussions with the supervising parents. "Obamism for thee, but not for me," I suspect.
What a great way to ruin it for the kids.
Ask the kids if they would share "there" candy with a kid who didn't even leave the house. Maybe they will talk to Mom and Dad about it. Of course you will need to stay up all night and make sure your yard, car, or house isn't vandalized.
Isn’t Obama giving an address tonight about how the Halloween candy will be divvied up THIS year in his NEW PLAN FOR HALLOWEEN RATIONING? Some kids may stay home because they are too lazy to think of a costume and don’t want to drag their lazy a$$es to go door-to-door SO the kids that DO actually participate must spread-the-wealth around to the lazy asses, after all that is ONLY fair. So like 50% of their candy must be given to those who have none.
Joke, stuartcr, joke! Did you misplace your sense of humor? We have to find our laughs somewhere these days!
I know, I just wanted to see what kind of comments I could solicit from others. Happy Halloween!!
