The Curmudgeon, believe it or not, was once a kid. And like all kids, at this time of year I looked forward to that eminently kid occasion - Halloween.
But now, as you might suspect, I don't look quite so favorably upon this incredibly tedious event. This is not a kid-friendly household, more an occasionally kid-tolerant one. Read "an" and "a" kid there - not a bunch of them all grubbing for candy.
And what is with this "let's escort our kids around before dark" bit? Yeah, let's make this annoyance start earlier and last longer than before. If you're big enough to grub for candy, man up and do it after dark. What's spooky about doing it while it's still light out?
There ought to be a law.
