Thanks for the article from Jermaine Haynes
There are many advantages to being a big sister, one of them is I still get to go out trick or treating with my younger brothers and sisters. Another advantage is I get paid to do it! Mom stays home and hands out candy while I haul the little ones all over the neighborhood and load them up on sugary candy. Since our neighborhood is in a huge complex with hundreds of homes, we just start at the house next to us and trick or treat until we are too tired to go any further.
Since I’m the oldest I’ve learned over the years the finesse of trick or treating. First you wear a comfortable costume. One year I went as a frozen box pizza. Wow was that uncomforta ble, and because I used real pepperoni I had a line of dogs following me all night. Now I know what works and I help my siblings pick out costumes that will be fun but practical.
Once we are done trick or treating we will head back home with our stash of candy and watch horror movies on our Direct tv state packages until the wee hours of the morning. Halloween is the best time of the year!
