With it being Halloween – as I write this – I thought I’d rant about it. I’m not a kid anymore so the fun of it is practically done with it, except for the half price candy on November 1. Anyway, I will tell you why it is no longer fun, not to be a killjoy. If you enjoy handing candy out to greedy little impolite effers, so be it. Go answer your door and toss away perfectly good candy.
OK, that candy ain’t free. It costs money. And the way people are more and more greedy is insane. When I trick-or-treated, which wasn’t that long ago, one chocolate bar was sufficient to please any kid. Then it was two. Now it’s like five is barely acceptable. Boo hoo. And the companies give you less in those boxes so it costs more and more to compensate. Now you got to buy like six boxes at 12.99 apiece. Now I’m no math genius –far from it- but thats like … too much money. And do the kids care?
NO!! They grab it without saying thank you, sometimes even lie to get extras. Then they toss the wrapper on your lawn as they run across it to the next house. Pure greed, plain and simple. I was always told to say thank you. Then they will make fun of the candy you chose to give to those little blankety-blanks. “Oh, I am sooooo sick of these.” “I hate *fill in the blank chocolate bar*.” Well you know what, brat?! DON’T ACCEPT IT THEN!!! IT WASN’T FREE FOR ME!!!
Anyway, I have some candy to eat. Don’t let the bad kids ruin your fun. There’s a few decent ones. Happy Halloween.
