Ususally we go out to dinner on Halloween because the wolverine really doesn't get into trick or treaters. (actually, I like them, but, what are ya gonna do?)
Then, when we come home, we pretty much stay in the back of the house, with the front of the house dark.
Still, this doesn't seem to stop the door knockers
This morning, he's planning his strategy already because he doesn't want to go out, and he says "well, they won't come around this year because they'll think I'm a child molester"
We said he saw on the local news that all those on the list have to keep their lights off.
Actually, I think this is a great idea....Not just because of the sex crime part....
Maybe it'll finally dawn on parents that if a houses porch isn't lit up, and on top of that there's no lights on in the front of the house, that means the people in that house aren't treating.
In years past, there have been some really insistant knockers, it'll go on for minutes, and I'll finally come to the front, look at the window, and see not just the kids, but their parents. uh,,,,,,get a clue?
I miss doing the trick or treat thing a little bit, but not enough to put the pasha on edge. However, I'll admit, I'm hesitant about opening doors any time. I mean, who is standing out there behind that mask?
So.....if ya see lights off.....there's a reason.
