Trick or treat....It brings back memories of childhood and the world that I grew up in. When you didn't know a lot of the things that you do know now, about strangers and dangers. As we prepare to take our daughter trick or treating this year, I think back to how my friends and I use to hike all over town with our pillowcases, in order to optimism the amount of candy collected within the time allotted. Nowadays, I would not think of turning a child lose to roam the town unsupervised. In those days, parents around here didn't worry about their kids being abducted or killed while running the town. I remember urban legends of poisoned candy and razor blades in apples, but you solved that by having your parents inspect your bounty. Sadly the dangers assosiated with Halloween have just about killed the tradition, allowing churches harvest festivals to take over our one night of devilment and robbing our children of the fun that we ourselves enjoyed.
Those were the days Marie ~ Oh, how things have changed. It is sad people in the world have became so evil so we have to worry about these types of dangers. Anyways, I hope you had a great Halloween with your daughter.
