Because I am anti-social, and a poor neighbor who doesn't give a crap, my thought is that I must make up for it by presenting the young 'uns with their choice of full-size Snickers, full-size Twix or full-size Kit-Kats.
Only in this way can I be assured that the little knee-biters won't TP my house when they get older. Most of them are really confused when they find they have to make a choice. It is made more difficult when an adult is embarrassed at how long they're lingering, and goads them on to "just pick one". |

When I was a kid growing up, my parents would have two bowls of candy. One for the local kids, with full sized candy bars, and one with crappy candy for kids from off the street. If my mom didn't recognize a kid, they got the crappy candy. If she did, they got the good candy. One year, her system got screwed up when the kid across the street came over to the house with a group of friends from outside the neighborhood. She gave away all the good candy to that group, and had to give crap to some of the kids on the street who came later. The following year, she learned her lesson, and bought lots more good candy. It was great after that, because we had lots of leftover candy bars.
In my current neighborhood, we don't get many kids. Our house is run down and scary looking, so it gets passed by a lot. We have lots of candy left over. York peppermint patties this year. |

Twix Hershey's chocolate bars 3-Muskateers Snickers M&M's I think that is all but there might be more that I can't remember.

There was a health nazi in our neighborhood who gave out carrots and apples like we were horses. She was one of those 100-cat ladies. When she died, no one found the body for about a week. The rumor was that the cats had been feeding on her.
Every child should have one story like that growing up. /shiver

I'll bet she was low in fat and high in beneficial nutrients, though.

I thought it wasn't healthy for cats to eat people food.
