Nothing like an honest kid to embarrass a parent!

We did trunk or treat at our church and had lots of kiddos. Of course I think the cutesy ones were my grandkids! After we came home I handed out some more candy. One little Princess (about 2 yrs old) was adorable. Ias she was leaving I told her she was a cute princess and she toddler away telling me " I'm da princess!"

We had at least 400 kids. Two blocks from us the whole street decorates. They have to block of the street it's so crazy. People start coming to look a week before. If you go to www.terrorontillson.com you can see some pictures. It is awesome. On Halloween we get the overflow of kids cause it takes so long to get down tillson Street. On Saturday they have trick or treating for kids who are ill. We've even made the Detroit Free Press.

We had only 19! But we live in an older neighborhood and the houses are farther apart than in the newer housing districts.

I was giving candy away by the handful.

We had about 25, but that is because we were out with our munchkins.

We had no kids as we are out in no where but we did have a young Deer come get an apple. Does that count?

For several years our rural kids came to the houses in golf carts. I dressed in my finest witch attire and held my python over my shoulder. As they rang the front bell, I'd lean over from the side porch and ask, in my creaky witch voice, "Who's that ringing my bell." As they approached, and saw the snake, they'd freeze. I'd ask again, what they wanted, and timid Trick or Treat" would be whispered. "Well, why don't you just come over here and see what you can find in my cauldron," I would advise. As they got closer to me, and the snake, they'd reach blindly into the cauldron, (they were maintaining eye contact with a 12 foot snake, after all). They'd grab their treat and run, posthaste, to the awaiting golf cart.

The treats were probably received with mixed emotions. Candy was not on my agenda. Instead I always grouped several strands of Mardi Gras beads together and attached a little sign, It read, "Genuine New Orleans Voodoo beads. Great to wear to ward off evil or to trade for other charms."

Business dropped off, the kids got older. Now, no one comes. We don't even turn the light on. The snake died last November, after spending 23 years with me. She was about 18 feet long. Many kids were entertained by that snake. I took her to schools for programs. I do miss her, but a woman my age has no business with a constrictor that size.

None here - have not had them for years now, stopped buying candy as I don't need a ton of leftover.
