I have determined that I do not want a bunch of sugar. I believe it is bad for everybody. Eric went to the Mars company party to do some service and he comes home with this haul:
Somebody is going to get their sugar high from this confection that was prepared by Mrs. Vance. A major award for whomever can win at the Cake Walk that will be put on tonight at the ward Fall Festival.
That is not really what I hate about Halloween. I have always disliked the idea of "Trick or Treat", where you threaten somebody that if they do not give you a treat that you will do something dastardly. It seems that there is a reciprocal relationship where the trickers may be the ones posing as the treaters. When I was a youth there were instances of poisoning and people being injured by peoples tricks.
Then there was that time that somebody threw a bag of powdered perlite on the highway into Manassa. It was never safe to use an outhouse on Halloween. You would either be locked in with a rope or the outhouse would be tipped.

It's also not safe to use outhouses during downpours! You never know whose gonna come a knockin'.
ReplyDeleteBetty also knows about unsafe outhouses, doesn't she?
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Halloween when we had children at home, but it just isn't fun without the children or grandchildren, and now that I have "pre-diabetes", I have to be careful with my sugar intake. I think we'll go visit my father-in-law that evening.
