Your neighborhood sounds much more lively than ours- It is your fault, by the way, that I bought all that damn high quality chocolate.
In our old neighborhood, close to South Dallas, kids from the inner city bussed in for Halloween. Hundreds of trick-or-treaters, crammed into the beds of old pick-ups, unloaded at the end of the street and attacked the houses like a swarm of locusts. I spent about 50-60 dollars on candy. The first year, before I knew better, I ran out and used my kids' stuff, with them screaming in protest("Not the Three Musketeers!!!"). Finally, when that was gone, we locked up, turned out all the lights and hid. I could never have used your technique or we wouldn't have survived the night. |
