Halloween

[Mrs. Fish]

What do you remember the most about the days when you went out on Halloween to get candy?

I still do go around and get candy! I dressed up today and I

My parents never would have spent money on customes like parents do today (I am NOT one of them that spend a fortune). We were very creative back then and used things around the house. I remember wearing my brother, Joe's football uniform, and my little brother, Mike, wore my cheerleading uniform one year. We'd use cardboard boxes, decorated them and go out as a present - things like that.

I remember with every apple that we got, my mom would throw them away automatically because we had heard about an incident where someone put a razor blade in one. Sick people. For the most part, trick-or-treating back when I was a kid was a lot of fun.

My Mikey is looking forward to going out tonight. He's going as a vampire, and my Anthony is going as a shiek.

I remember one year I was campaigning for certain causes (after I got the candy of course). I'd say, "thank you, vote yes on Measure __!" Imagine, a dumb*****ed little 12 year old telling people how to vote.

Ah, not much has changed except I'm 10 years older and not so little anymore. And I gave up trick-or-treating.

I remember dragging pillow cases full of candy around the neighborhood.

But the absolute best Halloween was when I beat my friends to the next house and the guy at the door gave me a can of Sprite because he thought I had the best costume of the night. That was sweet! Nothing like an 8 year old hyped up on sugar at 9 PM!!

I remember we used to throw water ballons at cars. The last time we did it, some guy turned out his Doberman on me and it bit me on the ***** and I started crying! It caught me on my bike! I retired after that!

Then we would hang out with our friends and eat candy we got from other kids. They had to pay us protection candy!
