Well, well, well, Halloween has come and gone here in Australia, and thank bloody God for that!!!

Depending on where you live, there will either be an influx or not, of children running around the neighbourhood banging on your house, screaming ‘Trick or Treat’ in your face when you open the door.

For those that are prepared, we throw lollies into the plain plastic bags or pumpkin buckets they shove at us to fill with goodies.

Unfortunately, they don’t always get what they want.

I’ve had a few experiences where kids thought they were being smart by hiding to the left of the door, or screaming and jumping at my face when I open the screen door to give them small bags filled with whatever junk food I’d bothered to buy the previous week. However, I also told them off for it, and had a go at them when they had claimed I hadn’t given them anything, although I knew damn well I had just dumped a bag of lollies in their bag.

Over the years, kids have stopped coming, mainly because they’ve grown up or the family has moved away. So I no longer have to worry about an American tradition that really should not have been picked up by Australia.

Quite frankly kids, if you want lollies go buy the damn thing from the store. A least that way, you know it hasn’t been poisoned by the person giving it to you, tee hee, and it’s not all that expensive.

Halloween is just a way of kids getting free lollies from strangers. Which brings me to a particular phrase that we’ve been teaching our kids for years.

”DON’T TAKE CANDY FROM STRANGERS”

HELLLLLOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

So exactly WHAT IS THE POINT of Halloween???????????

Doesn’t Halloween go completely opposite and AGAINST everything we taught our children. Although it is generally known that most children are abused/kidnapped by family members and friends, we still taught our kids about strangers.

”DON’T TAKE CANDY FROM STRANGERS”

Apparently that doesn’t matter when it comes to Halloween. So kids, if you take candy from strangers, expect it to be poisoned to the point where you will collapse from whatever it is they injected into it, and you will be lured into their house and really bad, bad things will happen to you.

Yeah, that’s the message we should now be telling our children, cause seriously, Halloween is just plain stupid and idiotic!

THANK GO IT’S OVER FOR ANOTHER YEAR!!!!!
