Trick or treaters

Does anyone still give out fruit on Halloween night?
What do you give?

I just buy the famous Bag of Crap from Dominic's, Tallaght for €5.99-it's lollipops, chewy bars and jellies..then just distribute them in little plastic bags.
That'll keep the little pipsqueaks quiet.

I forgot to stock up for them last year, neighbour kids looked a bit bemused to get cereal bars and low fat crisps!

A few years ago I was living in a..... well, lets say it was an economically not-so-well-off estate. I genuinely forgot it was Hallowe'en, and got completely caught out when kids started banging on the door.

All I had was a bunch of grapes in the kitchen - so I slightly embarrassedly handed out a handful of them to the kids, saying that I was sorry I had nothing else.

I've never seen kids so excited about some grapes. "Oh missus, I haven't had grapes in AAAAAAGES!" or " we NEVER get grapes!" something along those lines - if I hadn't heard it myself I wouldn't have believed it.

Wouldn't advocate it as a policy, but they certainly went down well that night!

Nay nay nay. They won't eat them and will just feel a bit cheated out of potential sweets.

Just give them your Nigerian bank account No.

I always liked money best as a kid but this generation seem happy with sweets. FOOLS!

I'm sad to say I think fruit was and still is the ultimate halloween disappointment.

Why?

If they're lucky, I'll replace the birdshot with salt.

The Backwards Man

Kids used to come to my door and I gave them garden peas, homegrown potatoes and tomatoes.

They don't come around any more.

Watching 'Beverley Hills 90210' last night, they were giving out raisins... raisins!

I suppose I'd be happy with a couple of bags of sweets or maybe an apple or even as one poster suggested - a few grapes, but raisins?

Feckin' miserable!

I went out with my 3 and 6 year old niece and nephew on halloween a couple of years ago in a small rural town. I stood back for the first 10 or so houses to give them their space to sing their wee song and look cute in their outfits.

I was shocked how horrible people were, hostile even, on two occasions I had to step in to take the kids away and all of the sudden the faces changed to all lovely dovey and smiles when they seen me. It was an eye opener. They were all neighbours! The kids just wanted to go home.

I love it when kids call to the house.

Front of the house: lights off. Doorbell: ignored. Trick or treaters: somebody else's problem.

Once the correct form, 'help the Halloween party', returns, I'll get involved again. Ye can all feck right off with yer 'trick or treat' shyte. And it's a fishtfull of monkey nuts ye'll be gettin'!
