It’s All About The Candy!

It’s All About The Candy Video

Years of practice, and expert training, have turned my kids into seasoned, professional Trick Or Treaters. 

They know how to maximize the candy haul by starting their one night to beg for sweets as soon as they get out of school, and going on until the designated adult escorts drop from exhaustion.  Later, they trade the undesirables until they have the optimum selection of their favorite candies.

Yes, they’re expert Trick Or Treaters.  They have to be, because when they finish bringing in the candy haul, they have to pass the final Halloween Hurdle – the Mommy Tax!

I love the idea of the mommy tax! My kids are actually very good. They keep their eyes open for mommy’’s favorite candy and get as many as they can. And nobody else in the family eats them.
