Trick-or-Treat whore? I think not.

That's right.  Tonight is Halloween. It's a wonderful night and I love dressing up like a crazy Bronco fan and taking the kiddos out.  However, if when my kids get bigger, if they act or dress the way some of those kids did tonight... I will kill them. No ifs, ands or butts.  I will kill them.

I'm talking about the young girls that dress up like hookers. The young boys who don't even put effort into dressing up. The kids who are old enough to drive door to door. The kids that when you open the door say, "Give me some candy!"

First of all, lets address the clothing. Today my kids dressed as astronauts.  They were so cute with their little orange jump suits.  Every house we went to, the people knew exactly what my kids were dressed as.  There was NO question.  Last year, they were dragons.  These are costumes that kids should wear on Halloween.

As we left my brothers house we saw to young girls walking down the street.  They were wearing fish net stalkings and their skirts were so high you could see their cheekers. That's right, their butt cheeks.  REALLY?!? Just because it's Halloween and you can dress up, at least wear some clothes.  Now don't get me wrong.  I own fishnet stalkings and I wear them to work.  But I wear them with skirts to my knee and boots.  Not 6 inch heels and boy shorts.  PLEASE!

My kids saw them and K said "they're not scary at all... What are they supposed to be anyway?"
I was stymied.  What do I say, hookers?  How do I explain that to a 4 year old? My husband - ever the one with quick wit - replied "college girls..."
K just said, "ah... ok..."

That's what I'm talking about.  Really? Since when does hooker clothes equal a Halloween costume? Apparently, I'm too old for this.

Second let's talk about the demand for candy.  That's right... Demand.  Since when is it your right to come to my house and have me give you candy. Isn't it something I'm choosing to do for you? Something that I'm doing for you as a kindness?

If I hear one more kid going up, ringing the bell - over and over again until someone answers, or banging on the door repeatedly then demand candy when the door opens I'm gonna pop them upside the head.  I know if some teen had come up to my door and demanded candy they would have got the... "I'm sorry you're too old to be trick-or-treating and I'm out of candy..."  Really?!?

Also just a side note, but if you can drive to the neighborhood you're going trick-or-treating in... YOU ARE TOO OLD!  Go to a party with your friends. Have friends over and play games. Go to a friends house and watch some old school horror movies.  But for the love of GOD, don't go out and ask people for candy.  Trick-or-treating is for small kids, not you. Get a job and go buy yourself some candy!

I guess its all a matter of youthful teenage stupidity.  But God help my children if I find out when they are teens that they act this stupid.  They will be one hot mess when I'm done with them.  I'm just sayin.
