Our candy reputation spreads

Margaret wonders where all the kids went.
Apparently, they all drove over to our street. We got at least 88 trick-or-treaters. A lot of them not only don't live on the block, they don't even live in our little neighborhood - word must've gotten out and people in minivans and cars were dropping off kids left and right on our block.
Helps to know the neighbors, though - they were definitely more generous with the candy with the local kids.

Flavor Flaaav!
We didn't get 86 Trick-or-Treaters, but what we didn't get in quantity, we made up for in quality. We even had a very convincing mini-Flavor Flaav!

I only got 25 kids, but my pets were far more popular than the candy I gave out. Between asking for kisses from the dog, and wanting to pet the Guinea pig or look at the fish eating fish, I could have just saved myself some cash and sat on my steps with the dog, the guinea pig and a fish tank.
Hi, I'd like a dog kiss
What the hell kind of trick-or-treaters ring the bell and ask if your dog will kiss them?
Better yet, what kind of sick fuck offers such a thing?
I stopped counting somewhere
I stopped counting somewhere past 350 kids, just outside Coolidge Corner. Many kids weren't in costume, especially the older ones, and there were a lot of grabbers. Lots of princesses and ninjas.
shocking lack of costumes
Yeah, what's the deal with kids not wearing costumes? I mean, that's just begging for sugar, then! C'mon, you don't have to spend a lot of money -- just show some *creativity*. Sheesh.
I would've refused candy to said urchins (and that's a kind word for how I was feeling about them,) but I didn't want to invite messy repercussions. :-P
