I had four 18 or 19 year old girls turn up on the doorstep just after 9.30 last night, who when I opened the door, yelled "trick or treat" into my face! "Sorry girls, I don't believe in it." Oh, OK" and they left. Didn't look as if they had scored much either. I'd been wondering what had been setting all the neighbour hood dogs off since 7.30.
The only other time I had them was about 5 years ago when 3 7-9 year olds turned up before dark. Didn't have a sweet in the house, so gave them apples - not a popular choice I might add by the looks on their faces.
What age do they usually stop dressing up and going around (I don't mean those escorting young children)? It's not a big thing here in Australia, although the el cheapo shops do sell a few things.
