Trick or treat!

Hallowe’en is the time of the year where children (and adults) dress up in costumes, go out and have a good time. For the children, it’s mostly PG-rated, and for the adults, depending on the amount of tricks, verges on NC-17.

Personally, I’ve never gone trick or treating. Never, ever. Not even once. And, I see that as a good thing.

I never had to worry about catching a cold on those nippy October nights. I never had to worry about getting suspicious-looking candy from that creepy man who lived down the street. I never had to worry if someone was wearing the same thing as me – always the fastest way to get me riled up.

Every Hallowe’en, my mother bought a bag of good candy for us and gave out lollypops and other miscellaneous sweets to kids in the neighbourhood. While other people were freezing outside, I sat at home, on my ass, chowing down on the good shit.

That tradition continues into my adulthood.

Even though I still don’t dress up and go out for the festivities, I still enjoy buying candy. Two bags of Twix, a bag of Kit Kat bars, one of Snickers and one of Mars. All. For. Me. And, I only had to go to Wal-Mart to get my chocolate fix.

My mouth drools just knowing they’re in my house, within snacking reach…

Trick or treat!
