Halloween
The first time I heard about Halloween, I could not believe the story.
"So, you knock on the door and people give you candy? What is the catch?"
Halloween great because you could spend two hours wearing yourself out and have enough candy to gorge yourself for maybe three days.
Turn the clock ahead to kids today. My kids spend about 45 minutes outside - if that, and they got some decent candy out of it. When I was a kid, you were lucky if it was chocolate coated (Three Musketeers, Milky Way - wow). These days, the kids are getting two or more of these premium candies at every house. Kit Kats, Reeses, Kissables, wow!
I tell you, kids today are weak. If I was a kid today, I would be out there for the whole two hour period collecting enough candy to fill a bathtub, especially if they're handing out the good stuff. I certainly wouldn't come in before 8pm.
