The pillow case: we used to use them! Your mother couldn't let that bad candy go to waste, could she? I always enjoy your spin on the commonplace, Mark.
Suspicious if you ask me. I grew up in a different era -- back when parents didn't even know where their kids were most of the time -- just so we were back by dinner time. My mom and dad would go out partying on Hallowe'en and leave us to whatever we wanted to do. They were more into alcohol and revelry than candy... ha ha ha. I heard you were dressing up as Bugs Bunny tonight? Is that true?
My parents must have not had considerable sweet teeth, then, because I can't remember doing them doing that when I went out. Granted, it's been a long time since I have been out on this night.
Haha! I remember that too… the candy checks from my childhood — to make sure there weren’t pins in the candy? Egads. As a parent I never once worried about that.

Just stating the facts. As I remember them. 🤣
Thanks, K.C.
Haha! I love it. I took a direct approach last night with my kids: “Okay…I really want a couple pieces of candy. What can I have?” 😄
Best way to go. 🤓
Ha
Thanks, Lana.
this story got a smile out of me
great job
Thanks, Sammy. I am glad it was a "treat" for you. 😉🤓

(singing) Ohhh... It's a dentist's life for me!
Thinking back on what I spent on candy, and what I spent on dentists...
Halloween was created by dentists. 🤣🍭🍬
So obvious to anyone paying attention.

What’s up, Doc? My Dad worked afternoons so my Mom was usually home on Halloween and handed out candy. I always went with a friend or two. Good times.

I am probably much older than you. It was a 1960s thing. 🤣
I'm a child of the 80s- a lot of things had changed by that point.
A whole different world. I had kids in the 80s. 🤣

We just took any candy the kids didn’t want. Which was usually nothing I liked. But I did buy candy I liked to give away so if there was any extra…
Now that’s second level thinking!!! If, then stuff!!
You gotta think ahead. My wife would try to buy stuff I didn’t like and I would say, “wait a minute.” 🤣
“Sorry, son, waaaay too much chocolate content in this bar!”
Yup. I am going to have to confiscate it, 🤣
