Who ever heard of Trick-or-Treating a week early! Akron is having trick-or-treating on 10/25. Come on! Halloween actually falls on a Friday this year, the perfect time to have trick-or-treating. What was the city council thinking? Are they that afraid of Halloween? Halloween was one of my favorite holidays as a kid. You got to dress up in some scary costume and pretend to scare your friends and get lots of candy. And yes, you did this on the actual night (after dark), gasp, of Halloween. The fact that you did it after dark and on Halloween added to the fun and made it just a little bit scary. That was the fun of it! People these days think they have to tame everything down because the kids can't handle it or because it isn't safe. Well let me tell you something. The kids can handle it if parents would treat them like kids instead of babies. And it would be safe for them if the parents would do their jobs as parents and get of their lazy butts and walk along with their kids. OMG! Heaven forbid, I should actually put down my beer, get up from in front of the TV, get a little exercise and SPEND SOME TIME WITH MY KIDS! But no, we just dress them up and send them on their way a week early so we can watch reruns of our favorite shows and suck all the fun out of the experience for our kids! But hay, at least it is nice and safe and doesn't fall on the actual day of that horrible holiday!
GGGRRRRRRRR - I am so mad!
Ok, I am done venting now.
Have a great day.
