Halloween is over

I got a ton of candy! So, I wanted to dress up for class but that didn’t work out. So I was a little bummed. Then when I came home Rob and me were snappy at each other. We watched Evil Dead with Eddie while eating dinner. It was a pretty good movie. Then around 6 the kids started to show up. I don’t know what parents are teaching their kids these days but damn! Those little fuckers took handfuls of candy and didn’t say thank you. I then decided to actually put the candy in their bags rather than letting them grab for it with their ungrateful little grubby hands. They still didn’t say thank you. So I said screw them! Rob, Eddie and I went to the other side of the neighborhood and I did some trick or treating. Then I realized that everyone was giving out handfuls of candy and not expecting a thank you or anything from these kids. Some places just left a bucket on their front porch with candy in it. When I started, we were behind this band of marauding 5 year olds and they cleaned out a bucket. Seven kids + one bucket of candy = nothing! Anyway, we went a little later than most of the kids, so we were hitting a bunch of the houses as they were closing up for the night. More than a couple houses said “Take as much as you want so that we don’t have it lying around!” One guy gave me half the bag of candy. Only two people mentioned us being a little old for it, and one of them was rather drunk. The decorations looked pretty cool, but we had to turn off the lights so that the kids wouldn’t come to our door expecting candy.

So, I have all the candy I got trick or treating and all the candy that I didn’t give to the horrible little kids. I’m going to be on a sugar rush for a week.
