There should be rules for Hallowe'en trick-or-treaters. These are mine:
1. No costume=no candy. If you're "too old" or "too cool" to wear a costume, then you're "too old/cool" to go trick-or-treating. Also, asking for candy when you're not in costume isn't trick-or-treating, it's begging, and there's a law against panhandling.
2. Don't ask for extra candy for your little sister/brother/whoever who was "too sick" to go trick-or-treating. Let this be a learning moment: either you learn to share or the invalid learns to suck it up when necessary.
3. If you're too young to eat the candy, you're too young to show up on my doorstep with your mom/dad/grandparents asking for the candy.
4. The candy is free to you, but not to me. Making nasty remarks about said candy within earshot of the person who spent money on it is rude. Next year, there may be no candy for you to complain about.
Have a Happy Hallowe'en!
