Zone1 How Old Is Too Old To Trick-Or-Treat

[Road Runner]

I say about fourteen is a bit too old and fifteen and sixteen is WAY too old. Are there any other thoughts about this?

I think my final trick-ot-treat was 13. I went as Honey West, in a black vinyl trench coat.

12 was the age limit for me. I never liked Trick or Treating I enjoyed the fall festival parties thrown by the churches and local clubs.

I think age 12 is about it...

Stopped my first year of HS. So, last time was at thirteen.

I dont know, but if she came knocking at your door would you tell her she was too old for candy?

Good point, we shouldn't deprive women of the fine tradition of scanty Halloween costumes!

No, I’d want to show her the special stuff I had in the back.

That's a trick who is a definite treat, and if she came to my door, I'd offer her my biggie Zagnut.

As far as how old is too old? If they look over the age of 13, and don't have costumes, I tell them to scram. If they are older kids escorting youngsters without a costume? I only give candy to the kids. However, if they have gone to the trouble of both creating a costume AND escorting the younglings around, I'm a mensch, and will give them candy also.

Heck, if the parents dressed up and their costumes are cool looking or show that they took time to make them, I give the parents candy as well.

Women aren't deprived in any way shape or form on Halloween. They can dress scantily and show up in just about any bar in America and generally get a free drink on the house. I know that when I was a bartender, if a woman came in with a really neat costume, I'd buy her a beer (it was a beer only bar).

Why do parents spend 364 days a year telling their children to not take candy from strangers, then, one day a year on October 31, they dress them up and send them out to do just that, take candy from strangers...

Lol I don't even know who that is. XD

I never liked Trick or Treating

Seriously!! What is with you people!! I can't believe all of the not liking trick-or-treating and candy comments I received so far. Now I can't blame any children for not wanting to trick-or-treat at the white house right now, but come on guys! It's free candy!

I was around fourteen myself.

Is that a trick or a treat?

That's what I was thinking lol

I dont know, but if she came knocking at your door would you tell her she was too old for candy?

I'm a woman myself so if she didn't come to the door with any children I'd say she was too old for trick-or-treating. You're never too old for candy though.

Good question, I don't know lol but I always went trick-or-treating around my own neighborhood and my mom would always inspect the candy first.

That is a very good question. And, knowing how kids can be, they will take that one day of the year to justify when they go against the rules of the other 364.

Remember......................candy is dandy, but sex won't rot your teeth.

For the same reason we spent decades telling folks not to get into a car with a stranger, and now we have an app. on a smart phone where you can order a ride from one?

Hey.................remember...................in the case of most serial killers, the neighbors always said that they were such nice, quiet people, and were the last one's they would have suspected. Gacy and the BTK killer come readily to mind for that one.
