There Are Not Many Children in My Apartment Complex.

"Happy Halloween! What wonderful costumes you have! I don't have any candy, but you can take a Kleenex if you want!"

Did they like sharing kleenex with you? My kids adore ripping kleenex out of the box one by one.

They may have been more excited by the idea of pulling tissues out of the box had they not been expecting sugar products.

Mine are still at an age where they can be convinced that Cheerios and Craisins are *totally* better than wrapped candy.

I'm going to miss this.

I wasn't expecting to be home, as I had a show, but I stopped by quickly during strike to drop off some stuff & pick up some music for the cast party. And have a cocktail with the people who'd walked back with me of course (I live about 2 blocks from the theater). The doorbell rang and well... I had no candy but I did have a big bag of fuzzy stuffed plagues for Pesach. The kids were dressed as a door with a happy halloween on it, and THEY were actually giving away candy. After selecting a tootsie roll for myself, I poured the plagues on the porch and told them to pick the ones they wanted. They took the locusts, rivers running with blood, and darkness.

And that is what is so great about America.
