Halloween In My Head

October 31, 2009

If I made the Trick-or-Treat rules....


They just look at me without saying a word? I shut the door in their face until they get it together and do it right.

I tell the kids who are taller than me to leave me alone and get a job.

That's not a costume. See ya.

If you wander off the pumpkin path and run through my yard, your injuries are on you. Eat candy and bleed.

If there's no body to go along with that bag, I ain't fillin' it. There's no sick sibling at home, you greedy little punk.

You kick my pumpkins, I'll kick your *#$.

Don't skank up my doorway. If you look like a ho, I'm tellin' you so.




My friend, Debby, from Just Breathe, tagged me to tell 10 things nobody knows about me, so I twisted it a little bit and came up with this post, (a few Halloween thoughts nobody knows I was thinking). Happy Halloween everyone!

LOL!! HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!!!

Queenie Jeannie said...

Love it!!

And lol, we have the same Halloween pic up today. Great minds...

Kimi said...

I never did the dress like a skank thing on Halloween. I feel I missed out on a vital moment. Yeah, not really. Those little girls dressed like hussys totally pisses me right off. I just want to follow them home and slap their mothers.

Buckeroomama said...

Haha! We don't have to worry about that over here... no trick-or-treating where we live.

buffalodick said...

Last year, a couple of girls came to the door showing a decent amount of cleavage..I didn't know whether to buy them a drink, or give them a Snickers bar!

Nancy@ifevolutionworks.com said...

I'm so excited for the little trick or treaters! It's been raining here, so I hope that eases up and quits ruining my fav holiday!

Ann On and On... said...

You are too funny! I hope you have a fun halloween...looking forward to hearing the #1 phrase used.

Lauren said...

Good rules! I refuse to give candy to anyone that has achieved puberty!

lukesidewalker said...

Happy Halloween, hope the trick or treating goes well in your neighborhood!

-Luke Sidewalker

I am Harriet said...

No kidding- we get car loads of treaters coming into our subdivision from who knows where. The parents either sit their fannies in their cars and wait at the corner for the kids or they too trick or treat. Come on....all that for a candy bar?

Have fun!

*mary* said...

Great rules. I agree, yet caved and gave the adults and non-costumed freaks candy this year. That's okay though. I gave them a Dum-Dum and told them it was recession Halloween this year when they made a face about it.

Mrs. G.I. Joe said...

The part about the kids taller than you is hilarious! I totally agree!

Julia said...

THis would be so fun to implement except no trick or treaters come to our house. I love the you look like a ho one.

Justine said...

My sentiments exactly!!!

Justine :o )

Sheri said...

Happy Halloween!

2 Toddlers and Me said...

Funny stuff! I never like the teenagers that don't bother to dress-up either.

By the way, you have an award waiting for you on my blog. Congrats!

Tiaras said...

can you come up with something for the little shits who steal my candy every year (last year the little buggers took my bowl too) we are so nice to leave a candy bowl outside our door while we take our children around b/c we don't want the same hooligans leaving a shit bag on our door step (yes, they did that once)

Yaya said...

I'm seriously so annoyed with kids that show up with no costume and/or don't say trick or treat. What the heck??

Kendahl, Stepmom Extraordinaire said...

Perfect rules. Though, I always give candy to the big kids because I trick-or-treated 'til I was 16. :) But no costume = no candy.

Cecelia---Sis---Mom said...

Great rules, they should be posted. ;-)


Cece

shiduri said...

FABULOUS RULES.

Amy said...

Alyce is so ready. She is going to be a mermaid and we are already saying "Trick or Treat" I bet you would empty out your bowl in her bag for sure.

Laoch of Chicago said...

Seems like a reasonable policy.

Janean said...

you're a HOOT! too funny.

Bren said...

I have used most of those rules myself when I lived in Illinois and trick or treating didn't seem to have an "end" time. Kids twice my size at the door, at night, in the dark? Yeah - NO!

Melissa B. said...

Happy Halloween, galfriend!

One Quarter to Go 'Til Halftime

The girl with the flour in her hair said...

I think I'll print this list up and post it on my door tonight.

Happy Halloween! ^_^ (Jack-o-latern...:)

Steven Anthony said...

lol.....happy holloween

Erin M. said...

Love your rules! You said it well.
I hate when kids without costumes come to the door....or get dropped off by their parents in our neighborhood just because, etc....

mama-face said...

Wow, I would have the same list...I think I will type this up and hang it on my door. Or course the little (and big) urchins would just stare at it without a clue just like salesman do at my no soliciting sign. I would add the game stops at 9 p.m. Quit ringing the doorbell.

Eat candy and bleed. HAHA.

kys said...

I love your rules! I may print them out and post them on my front door.

Happy Halloween!

conversationswithmoms said...

Hear hear on your rules.

No little girls dressed in sexy costumes, who are too young to understand what the costume is. Where are your parents?

Thanks for what you wrote on my blog. My official start date is Nov 3rd. I'll be needing those tissues too.

The Blue Zoo said...

Your rules are hilarious! But I love it when the older kids go trick or treating. I went trick or treating until I was 15. We live in a small town so there isn't anything else to do.

Pricilla said...

Bwahahahaha!
You just need Abby goat to butt them all away.

Just Breathe said...

I make them say it or no candy!

Don't ring the doorbell when the lights are out, it means no more candy left.

Try to have fun!

LT said...

I hate the kids that are like 16 thinking they need the candy I bought for the little ones, I mean come on!

Happy Halloween!

Brian Miller said...

happy halloween...if you stop by you better say it...and no i will not give you a piece for each of your 13 brother!

Lisa said...

Barbara said...

Agree this is a dandy list of "what I think" rather than "what I say". Ye Gods.
(Eat candy and bleed?)

Stacie said...

Happy Halloween!!

I find the adults and the grown teenagers totally annoying. This year, they are not getting ANY candy from this house.

Save it for the little ones! :)

Tammy Howard said...

No arguments here...

Sharon said...

Another one - instead of giving kids treats do a trick. After all didn't they just say, "Trick OR treat?" It'll piss them off and you can save the candy for yourself! LOL

Happy Halloween!

Joy said...

Love your list. I co-sign on every single point.

Carolyn G said...

We are a lot alike. I would do the same things. I would like to add: If i see you making faces at the candy I am giving out, then I get to smack you in the head and take candy out of your bag. Ungrateful brat.

Alexis AKA MOM said...

girl you made that meme memorable! LOVE it! Kickem all! Eat candy and bleed ... LOL

Brittany said...

LMAO!!!!! That made my day!

Vodka Logic said...

You post is hysterical. and look at all your comments I aspire to be you...

I don't mind teens at my door but if there is no costume i berate them lol

LadyStyx said...

Awesome.

Actually, even more awesome...is when you get no kids at all. Havent had a child show up on my doorstep for 15 years now. NO kids, no candy, no worries about a diet going to pot! In fact, here is it nearly 630pm and dark out there and I havent heard no one child on the sidewalk out front. Gotta love that some parents play it smart and take their kids to parties or elsewhere for the night.

Dan said...

Happy Halloween!

The hordes are awaiting darkness to descend here.

The Head Eagle said...

You make me laugh! It all rings so true, though!

Happy Halloween!

Candice said...

Loved your rules!!

Oh, one you should add to the list...

If you ring my fing doorbell after I turn the porch light OFF, don't be surprised if I go mental on you... in my underwear.

Raven said...

LMAO I'm so going to steal your rules. I especially hate it when you open the door and they just look at you expectantly. And then, they don't even say thank you. It makes me want to run after them and take their candy back, plus a few more for my time.

Have a very scary Halloween!

Kari @ A Giveaway Addicted Mommy said...

We share a brain - it is official.

Barrie said...

I'm looking forward to seeing all the little kids in their costumes. :)

SageMom said...

Many people share your thoughts...

there should be official halloween rules huh =)! LOL!

~ Noelle said...

Man, I LOVE YOUR POST!!!!!
I was so excited to give out candy tonight...
Then the one kid looked at the twizzler and said, " I don't eat that." I said, "OK, sorry.. Goodnight.."
Oh well.. and the kids that didnt even dress up? That just PISSES me off!
I saw a group of 4 teenagers walking up to the door, no costumes, I turned the light off and ate the candy I had left...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Muthering Heights said...

Hmmm, have you had a rough lot of trick or treaters in the past?

FranticMommy said...

You forgot; "if you ask for two pieces..I'll fix you a big bowl of ABSOLUTELY NOT"

Unknown Mami said...

You are a bad a@@ in your head.

yonca said...

Great rules! Happy halloween!

Shraddha@theselfloveproject said...

happy halloween..

hope you had fun

i am drop dead tired

Rachel Sue said...

Oh, how I wish those were really the rules!

Susie said...

Be careful with the first rule. My nephew is a non-verbal autistic and my SiL was getting really pissed at people who would try to make him say the words.

Vickie said...

I totally agree! I had a family tonight come with their kids in the wagon. Them kids were to young for candy. I know what you are doing...jerk!!

Happy Halloween!!

HeatherOz said...

Love the rules! I think they should be laws! hee hee!

Veronica Lee said...

No trick or treating here either!!

Happy Halloween!!

WhisperingWriter said...

I love the rules.

Happy Halloween!

Jennifer said...

LOL! If you got to implement the rules, surely it would be a different night! And there'd be left over candy since all the rule breakers would have to stay home!

reanaclaire said...

Happy Halloween to u!

greetings from www.reanaclaire.com

ladyfi said...

We only got two small kids coming to our door, so I didn't have the chance to think evil thoughts... ;-)

Chatterbox said...

Hilarious yet just so very true.
I am glad you voiced it at your blog.

Hope you have a great weekend and loads of fun.

Cheers!!

CanCan (Mom Most Traveled) said...

This is awesome.
Although it did hurt my feelings when I was 14 and my neighbor wouldn't give me candy. Kind of took the fun out of walking with the younger bro.

mannequin said...

Don't ya love the moms pushing a stroller with an infant? "It's for the baby". The baby that has no freakin teeth.

Felicia said...

I think my biggest one is the whole.. kids who are taller than me!! seriously!!! Enough is enough.

Molly said...

I hate "my sister is in the car."

pam said...

Trick or Treating at your house sounds fun!!

Happy Halloween

How is your daughter doing? I know your heart is broken for her. When Emily has her issues my heart breaks too, so I know that sad feeling you must have in yours.

love ya!!

xox

KimmyD said...

I hate when grown adults come to the door and trick ot treat. I had a couple of young kids come to my door with no adult with them. I don't know what's worse!

!!The Obnoxious SAHM!! said...

HA HA love those.

Michaela said...

Love it!! Especially that last one! No Ho's at my house last night!!

Momma Such said...

Ha ha! You crack me up! I really needed a good laugh b/c the sickies are going around my house and it is NO fun! We didn't even get to go Trick or Treating this year..boo :(

Frugal Vicki said...

Hee hee, don't you just wish we could do this? I would love to!

I have a post-Halloween treat for you on m site!

April said...

I love it! Great rules! I say, put it in writing and make sure every home in America gets it! ;-)

Following you from MBC!

Kristin said...

How about shutting the door on the teenagers who don't even bother to dress up. Drives me nuts when a 17 year old shows up at my door in basketball shorts and expects a handful of candy!

Tater Tot Mom said...

I'm so with you on this one! AMEN!

Pam said...

I had to laugh about the adults comment. I don't know how many people said last night they were collecting for their sick niece/nephew/child. THere can't be that many sick kids in our area!

Mrs. Fish aka Two Fish said...

Couldn't agree more! Sometimes I hate the holiday...some punks just ruin it.

Xazmin said...

Haha! I love 'em! Especially "don't skank up my doorway!"

MiMi said...

Don't skank up my doorway!!! Love it. : )

Mimi said...

I agree completely! I was sad to be in the hospital and miss all the cute little ones this year.

Megan said...

OMGosh!! YES!! I agree with you 100%. Last night we had a frickin MARRIED COUPLE, NO KIDS come to us TorT'ing! Seriously? Go buy your own damn candy! {although we didn't hand out candy. lol}

Erin said...

OMG that's so funny, I'm posting that on my gate for next year!

Farmers Wife said...

Frickin hilarious...if you look like a ho bahahahaha

Grand Pooba said...

Love this. Except for the tall trick or treater thing. Some kids are abnormally tall!

Bill and Lorie Shewbridge said...

Too, too, funny - I could have implemented EVERY single one of these rules at my house this year!
I make baggies every year with 5-6 pieces of candy and a toy in each, and I even had one little FAT girl take two bags and tell her little brother to take 2 "just in case one was a trick." He didn't do it and I told her that they ALL had real goodies in them! She just gave ME a dirty look and turned away... I called after her and said, "Aren't you going to say thank you?" Little bitch!
