I think we have had trick or treaters possibly twice in the years we’ve been married. One year we ran out of candy and just stopped answering the door. That was the first year I ever lived in an apartment. We never had trick or treaters in the dorm. My parents’ house is located off the road, so we seldom got trick or treaters. Ever since that year we ran out of candy, I stock up.

Since then we may have had trick or treaters one time. That was over 11 years ago. When I buy candy, I buy the good stuff that I like. I love the small candy bars. Yummy! This year I also bought some individual packs of Teddy Grams for the baby.

I remember trick or treating as a kid. I disliked getting fruit. I don’t think anyone gives fruit anymore. Who would eat unwrapped food they got from a stranger? Even though the fruit was from people we knew, it was still a buzzkill. Tomorrow we got trick or treating with the little one. It should be fun.
