He had a halloween costume on and he knocked on peoples doors and said "trick or treat" in a nice cheerful happy voice, and most people were happy to give him a few sweets. One miserable old git however, saw him and said: "oh" and shut the door in his face and walked off!! >:( >:( >:(
ffs if you don,t like trick or treaters, fair enough, but you don,t have to be so damn rude to a little 9 year old kid do you? Some people just make me sick. He was really upset he was. :'(

God Souxi, I'm so sorry to hear about this. I feel terrible for your little boy! :'(
I remember once when I was about 10 years old, my Dad found a tiny pin in a piece of my Halloween candy. It really hurt my feelings and scared me. I couldn't figure out WHY a total stranger would want to kill me. Parents were always warned to check their children's Halloween candy, and thank God my parents listened. But I'll never forget that experience.

That's terrible! It's so easy to not be bothered if you don't want. The kids come around between 6:30 and 8:30 so Wait till 9 to turn your porch light on and don't answer your door. Being rude and mean to a child is unconscionable. It can get expensive, we have a lot of kids around us, so I spend $50 on candy and we hang spider web and lights and put a graveyard in our front yard complete with bony hands reaching out of the graves...every year and we sit out on the porch so we're REALLY encouraging the kids to come see us. They are all so precious and so polite, almost every kid last night said thank you before they left us. But they won't bother you if you leave your porch light off tell a little later. Shhheeesh some people.

Thanks Jeff, the kids all look forward to coming to our house. About a month before they start waving at me and asking if we're going to decorate this year... I always say "of course!". Bob and I love Halloween. He dressed as Herman Munster and I was Minnie Mouse this year. ;D Bob wants to buy a fog machine for next year ::)
