to think that trick or treaters shouldn't be two women?

So I open the door and two women are standing there. One has a baby in a sling with a paper mask pinned on the back, one has a sleeping baby in a pushchair who has been smeared with black make up round his eyes (I hope).

I looked up and down the road for the children, and one woman sticks her hand out and says "Three."

Taken aback, I politely handed over three sweet things, she looks down at them and the other woman says, "Can't we have another one so it's two each?"

I hand over another one, she drops it and says, "Get that for us, would you?"

Meanwhile, the little boy from next door has appeared, she grabs his bucket and says, "Here, he wants one and all."

Surely this can't be quite right?

Yes, yes, Hully, we know about your warts! But we want to know what the witches have done to you.

Mind you, if they have turned you into a toad, I suppose you won't be able to reply. :(

We only had two groups of children, all of them live on the street and are between 1-8 years old, but our road is full of grumps who turn the lights off and hide.

Ds1 is too old now and ds2 was at a party which left ds3 7 months who I dressed as a skeleton even though he had no idea what was happening

He seemed to enjoy seeing all the little children at the door with their flashing pumpkins and big hats though

I wouldn't take him out trick or treating though unless it was with his brother who is 8

I feel your pain. I live in a lovely bit of London where the trick or treaters seem to travel to by coach!

I was a bit slow getting to the door for the third lot last night and found the little shits devils in the lower ground floor entrance peering through the window and saying "I wonder if they keep their bikes in this cupboard"
I threw a fit at them and told them to fuck off before they get a treat from the police. none of them younger than 18 at that. Fecking snooping on private property!! There is a front door for a reason. Grrrr.

I was delighted by the neighbours 4 yr old who had a lovely Halloween rhyme about being a ghost of Halloween and scariest id ever seen. VERY cute and got a handful of chocs for her effort.

I had a woman with a baby (well under 1yo). Baby in skellington babygrow, woman in normal clothes. She had a face like a slapped arse though, perhaps she put that on specially.

I tried to give her a satsuma but she took a sherbet dibdab Sad

I'm in a studenty area and so get the occasional group of them - so long as they are dressed up, jolly and grateful, they get some sweets.

The youngest I had at my door last night was about 2. She was with her brother. She had gorgeous, long ginger locks and was being a fairy. The high pitched 'twick or tweeeet' really melted my heart. Grin

Oh dear, poor Hully. :( I wonder if it's permanent? I am impressed that you can type though. Grin
