That’s Just Pathetic
November 1, 2005
When a fourteen year old on his last Halloween run gets doors slammed in his face and grilled by strangers because he’s tall. My brother and sister got dressed up to go trick-or-treating last night and I went with my brother so I could carry his extra bag when it was full and my mother took my sister. Granted we’ve only been living in this house for little over a year and we didn’t mow our lawn for over a month because we didn’t have a lawn mower (long and funny story, I’ll tell you about it sometime) and we have some crap in our backyard but it’s no worse than the neighbors. The ones next door threw dirty socks into our yard and the neighbors on the other side have an old station wagon sitting in their drive. Talk about lazy.
Sorry I got off subject there. So anyways we split up on the second half of our street planning to meet up with our mother and sister once we’d gone around the block. There were a lot of teenagers trick-or-treating last night, and they were all getting turned down because they were 17+ and they were in front of little kids who were out because they like dressing up. People truly do not like giving out candy to older kids, if you’re short and young looking you can get away with it, but if you actually look your age regardless of whether or not you have a costume you’ll probably get turned down.
I felt bad for my brother, he’s nearing 5′10 and he’s a big guy, not really in terms of weight but of frame. He looks like he’s maybe seventeen because he has a little mustache thing going on. So why ask a kid his age and then refuse him candy because you think he’s lying or not even bother to ask and just shut the door?
There was this little boy named Tyler who was dressed up as Jason from Friday the Thirteenth, he was a little cutie but he was walking around alone. Well not alone, his parents were following him in a van. Seriously how said is it that you have to drive around in a van when your kid is trick-or-treating? At least one parent could have gotten out because it is dangerous because of idiotic teens pulling shit. So we let him tag along and he really seemed to like Justin, I kept an eye on him and Justin took him to all the best houses because before he wasn’t sure of which ones to go to. I thought that was nice of him.
Also we win for discovering the most pathetic prank known to idiotic man: Two holes in a soda-can dumped into a trick-or-treat bag. Someone popped some holes into a pop-can and gave it to my brother soaking his bag and candy. That’s pathetic.
