I’ve never been a fan of Halloween. I’ll never understand why it’s acceptable to dress yourself in a disguise then knock on strangers’ doors and demand they give you something under threat of retaliation if they refuse. Any other day of the year that’d be “demanding money with menaces”. A crime.
Maybe the “trick” part has subsided in recent years but when I was a kid, my pre-secondary classmates used to go out armed with eggs, toilet paper, and bags of flour to punish anyone who refused them. I didn’t go with them.
Wonderful piece! It made me laugh out loud as well as cringe in embarrassed recognition.
FINALLY MIRANDA. A woman speaking my language!!! I have absolutely no idea why we allow such criminal behaviour. Thank you so much for reading, I am glad it made you chuckle. I had a giggle reading this comment too. Usually, I’m all for sharing the love, but this time, I’m all for sharing the hate!! Happy un-halloween tomorrow when it comes!
Yes yes yes. Could not agree more. We thought it was just us not giving in to the consumerism of it all. There’s a time and a place for dressing up and sex parties, huh!! But Haribos are for life, not just for Halloween. Fact!
This was a funny read 🤣 I'm with you on the food. I went to M&S the other day and saw they were selling 'wriggly worms' chipolata sausages and wanted to throw up there and then
I just can’t be bothered with the faff of it all. Quite iconic behaviour from her isn’t it? As an adult, I think it’s legendary but at nine….I was mortified. Apparently it’s a Scottish thing.

Next year, I fancy putting a ‘haribos are for life, not just for Halloween’ banner on my front door. Thank you for your words of wisdom 🙏
It’s a twist on my ‘Haribos are for grown ups, not kids’ mantra!

Thank you!! ❤️ and those sausages? Absolutely not. No, no thank you.🙂↔️
How can you not like fancy dress? It's only a stones throw from improv 😅
Nodding in approvement when I read that your mum made kids work for their sweets.
