Aren't you a little old to be trick or treating?

As many of you may be aware, today is a little known holiday called "All Saints Day." Less commonly known as "Halloween" in some parts of the country. *cricket, cricket* Anywho....I went to Leigha's school for the Halloween parade and party and we enjoyed ourselves (FYI, there was a kid dressed like a whoopie cushion. Nice.) When Jason got home we went to the community bbq, then Jason holed up at the house while I braved the mean streets in pursuit of candy. It started out well, people smiling at the girls and saying how cute they were...but when it turned dark the trick or treaters got older and older. We've lived here two years and this is the first time it's been bad. A 10 year old kid got offended that Leigha was talking to her. "What's your name?" "Leigha." "Yeah, I don't KNOW you." Little snot. We kept going and after a while we were followed by a kid who wouldn't stop scaring Brianna. Finally I turned and said, "She's THREE!" The kid took the hint. I was greatly amused when Bri freaked out about some plastic spiders that were sitting harmlessly on a doorstep. As it got later, there were just teenagers left, which isn't bad....but they were all wearing "sexy" costumes and smoking. Yeah...I came home not too long after that and said, "Turn the light off, Jason, they don't need any candy from us." We had a pretty good night, all in all, but compared to previous years, meh. *edit* A couple things I forgot to mention. There was a group of 12 year olds and they gave the girls a bunch of candy they didn't like, which was very sweet of them. Also, instead of saying Trick or Treat, Brianna simply marched up to the houses, thrust her pumpkin bucket at the person and said, "I want bubble gum."

At least the girl knows what she wants . . .

I can't believe how rude some kids can be. Who teaches them to be jerks like that?
