Your children will not forget and make you pay later in life. Never mess with your children's Halloween.[Coffee]And if you only gave away $10 in candy you are a cheap skate. We buy At least $30 worth every year. Think about it this way.

Give the 8 year old a couple of good candy bars and when he is 16 he may not rob ya because you were good to him. ;)

Maybe about 50 here...much less than normal. Darn near no high school kids.
Little ones started at about 6:00. Not many from 7-8. Then after 8 none spoke english...:confused:

Really slow here too. Not even 1/2 of last year. The worst thing is that the wife didn't get any Smarties or Neco wafers this year. Classic Halloween candy.

There were 150-200 kids in one block when I was driving home from work and only half of them were high schoolers smoking cigarettes.

Two things I did notice this year. Lack of Hispanic kids and a lack of older kids. Normally the older ones are heavy between 7-8 pm. Almost none this year.

Similar story here, we usually have a LOT of kids that drive into our neighborhood (I live in Pleasant Valley). The usual contengent of Coronado high drama kids never showed and neither did all the latino kids. Also we usually get lots of large groups of kids but tonight was lots of single kids (of course each of them had an entourage of 4-5 adults 'cause apparently every parent out there is a helicopter parent ... sheesh, I remember trick-or-treating on my own when I was 7)

What part of town you in Jerry?

No kids again this year, glad I didn't buy any candy.

We got maybe four, no more than six.

Keep in mind that it is Monday night. I bet there'd be a lot more if it were Saturday night.
