Trick or Fruit

So, last year Kyle and I were notably psyched about Halloween and the potential of acting like a family as we took in trick-or-treaters and we prepared appropriately by buying loads of candy. Unfortunately, we didn’t get one single knock on our door. To make matters worse, neither of us actually really eats candy, so most of it just went to waste.

Now, having resigned ourselves to no trick-or-treaters, we didn’t bother picking up any candy this year, as we figured there’s no need in just wasting it and we’ve both been rather busy lately, anyway. Naturally, we received a knock on our door at about 7:30 tonight, as I was met with a zombie faced child holding out a bag in front of me. A bit surprised, I quickly tried to stall while I let Kyle rush to the kitchen, presumably to find something suitable to give to our zombie friend. He returned after a few moments and excitedly said:

“I hope you like apples and raisins!”

So, yes. I’ve become a part of the house that gives you apples on Halloween. The embarrassment consumes me.

I can’t believe you guys don’t eat candy… I’m addicted.

You have become the house that all children hate!!! The parents love you but the childen don’t. I love candy and chocolate is my addiction… Next year buy just a little. Not the apples. LOL

I’m so jealous you had a trick or treater. I bought candy and I didn’t get a single one. I really wonder what that zombie was thinking when you gave him apples and raisins.

You should be ashamed.

Ahahahaha! Looser!

That’s not that bad…A company called Trader Joe’s has been advertising giving out turkey meatballs and chicken pot stickers…You could have done worse, haha.

hahaha. that’s hysterical. i suppose you could have given them pennies. or maybe other small change.

My friend’s son said his favorite treat from last night was an apple. He is 4yrs old and he was so excited about a big red apple. Maybe your zombie loved it…who knows.

My friend’s mom used to hand out travel sized toothpaste. Thanks Mrs. Conradson! Pixie sticks can’t be snorted much more easily, though.

You awful human being. And why don’t you eat candy? Something must be terribly wrong with you 🙂 I mean that in the most endearing way possible, by the way.

Well, that’s better than toothbrushes. And, um, maybe he just needed some glue. ?

oh no! we got trick or treaters, but we didn’t even answer the door to acknowledge their existence. we’re evil like that.
