We adults can ruin everything!

I take my kids out, too, and like to see how many beer from the neighbours I can get. :) I think my record was 5. I was feeling pretty good later that night.

I remember one year with my-now-17-year-old-son in particular (non beer related). He was so incredibly excited to be out but wasn't as fast as the other kids, so he and I hung back and just went at his speed. He wanted to eat the candy while still trick or treating, of course. I remember telling him very explicitly that he was not allowed to eat any until we got home.

I was momentarily distracted by a mom with her kids and by the time I got to looking back at my son he had a sucker in his mouth. "Joshua, I thought I told you to wait before eating any." He didn't miss a beat. "I'm not eating it, I'm tasting it."

Yeah, I let him have that one.
