a note to anyone sneaking a younger person's - whether it be his/her child, sibling, whomever, it doesn't matter - hallowe'en candy: it's not right, and not just 'cause stealing is a no-no.
hallowe'en is a lot of children's first exposure to earning something; trick-or-treating may not seem like work to adults, but it's a lot of legwork, and asking for things from strangers is tough, especially for children, who tend to be more shy than adults. it also isn't easy to walk around in costumes that may be unwieldy, less than what they had hoped (i remember, when i was really young, some kids being disappointed in what they were made to wear), or that no one recognizes or compliments. adults often forget and/or fail to recognize the little details of how hard it is to be a kid.
taking candy from children, when they worked so hard for it, is truly shameful
!
tune in tomorrow.
