'Trick or treat, give me lots of sweeties to eat'
'Trick or treat, give me sweets, else I'm going to die'
'Trick or treat... bananas? We want sweets not bananas!'
These are just a few of the things our 'angelic' group of trick or treaters were saying when we took them trick or treating on Tuesday night. 31 October, aka Halloween.
Halloween is not very well know in South Africa, but it's popularity is increasing. We have taken the boys out, with their friends since Quinn was about 3 years old. We don't usually get very much, but it's fun to be out and about and walking the streets and most people are friendly and are prepared to offer Something, in the spirit of the evening, even if it is just a biscuit or marshmallow. One well meaning lady brought out a bunch of bananas, but the kids were having none of that and declined trying not to show too much disgust or disdain. LOL.
We had provided plenty of sweets though so they were all well stocked by the end of the evening, and unsurprisingly none of the kids were hungry by the time the dinner braai was ready. Luckily this is only once a year. The kid's sweetie tin is now full.
i wish we had trick or treating when we were small. i would have loved it!!!!
