What I especially dislike about Trick-or-Treating is the hoards of teenagers that end up on my doorstep. I mean, COME ON! Not that I never did it. In fact I did. Once. When I was 14. It was the most humiliating experience of my life and I never attempted it again.
Anyway....
These last few years I've come up with a way to enjoy having these too-old-for-trick-or-treating-aged-kids come up my steps rather than being annoyed at their freeloaderness-ess. I've taken the term "trick or treating" and tweaked it just a bit. For the aforementioned ones, I call it "trick FOR treating".
This is how it works. They do a trick for me....I give a treat to them. Ta Da! That's it. Not so hard but very entertaining. I figure that as long as they are embarrassing themselves (by begging me for candy) they might as well have to really embarrass themselves by doing something funny for me.
This year I decided to give them a little fair warning. I'm not much of a poet but tonight this little ditty came together quite nicely. Enjoy and feel free to copy (right click on image and save to your computer):
Happy Halloween Y'all!
