I used to think that. Then I moved to CO and they let you drive up and drop your early ballot off at the curb like the reverse of fast food.  

Vandalism during Havdalah in one of the most heavily Jewish neighborhoods in America.

My daughter, also 17, decided last year she was too old and stayed home.  Afterward, she decided staying home sucked so she’s going out again this year.  She has my full approval.

Halloween is a time for girls to dress sexy, and guys to dress ridiculous (or vice versa!). That’s why it’s my favorite.

She is! She doesn’t get it from me naturally, I’m terrible.

Amen. I love Halloween. You come with a bag and say “trick or treat”, I’ll give you candy.

We should all do more fun things that have no obvious point to them.

Parenting: Ur doing it right.

Its literal.

The 50 year old may not be holding out a bag, but you can bet that they are raiding that kids candy after bed time.  My parents used the old, “We are checking for razor blades” excuse to taste the candy to make sure it was safe.

I’ll be handing out little bottles of airplane booze.

I like you.

Older teens with age-appropriate siblings should get a pass.

i remember taking my brother out maybe when he was 7-8 years old. we’re 8 years apart so i would’ve been in high school. he had his costume and i had nothing so i threw on my bell styrofoam bike helmet (it was the 90's) and ski goggles and went as “bicycle ski mask man.”

I love Halloween and its a crazy holiday if you stop to think about it but I’m 100% of the camp that says come and knock on my door, I’ve got candy for you. I don’t care if you’re 5 or 15 or 50. Its a fun day with no crazy morality or religious thing tied to it. Lets all dress up as whatever you want, go out and get…

Haha no thank you. Not for me. I’ll take a candy stomach ache over a hangover anytime.

Because you needed to transition to the very adult practice of wearing costumes and getting absolutely sloshed.

Any reason? I live in a college town and this is the exact right time of year for them to blow off steam with harmless fun. I'd prefer them trick or treating than having roudy drunken parties.

Just out of curiosity--why?

I was trick-or-treating until I was 19 or 20. So were a lot of my friends. Honestly I’d still be doing it if I wouldn’t get weird looks. Why should dressing up in costumes and eating junk food be the sole purview of children?
