Tonight, I went with the sis-in-law to a trunk-or-treat thing with the kiddos. The bro is in brazil, my mom is in Switz., my dad is in the poconos, and her parents are in Florida, leaving me as the only adult in town to help out. So, after wok, I trucked on over to Clinton...
This truck-or-treat thing is pretty cool...we didn't have anything like this when I was growing up. People decorate the trunks of their cars and the kids go from car to car to get candy. I think there were about 80 cars at the elementary school, and a whole bunch of kids. The kids made off with a load of candy that I never got close to getting when I was a kid.
Man, I'm happy I'm not a kid anymore. People say it's easy and everything, but it's all relative. All the peer pressure, trying to fit in...it's when we build up all our defenses and our walls that eventually have to get torn down before we can live our lives. However, the excitement of discovering things for the first time. That's something I'd like to relive. It's gonna be great watching the little dudes discover it all.
