And I think it makes sense). But I have to say I like your ideas better. :)Aoi Sakurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07405131390894275938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-74664671124059326212008-11-06T20:09:00.000-07:002008-11-06T20:09:00.000-07:00Or you could go the completely boring route and gi...Or you could go the completely boring route and give those stupid Hallowe'en pencils / erasers that kids hate to get. haha! <BR/><BR/>I used to have a little old lady that gave me 5 lucky pennies every year. :)Shop Girl*https://www.blogger.com/profile/07738681406180590822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-23231950447223045252008-11-06T13:19:00.000-07:002008-11-06T13:19:00.000-07:00so with you on the over 12 set.

OUr 2 year old went to 6 houses, did his own knocking, his own "trick or treat" and held his own bag. The candy has now been tucked away for bribery/reward purposes. The thing with refusing candy to older kids is, they remember where you live and I always worry they will come back with eggs or toilet paper. I say go with the canned goods.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17435195670201242295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-25004797054018123462008-11-06T07:02:00.000-07:002008-11-06T07:02:00.000-07:00pennies or those sick brown taffy candies (the one...pennies or those sick brown taffy candies (the ones in black and orange wax paper) were my least favourite - maybe those would be good for the older kids. or else an uncooked egg. but your other ideas were good too :)noellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00933342483893137880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-2092646363119393322008-11-05T21:02:00.000-07:002008-11-05T21:02:00.000-07:00I'd give the moochers a penny.

We took him to our ward trunk-or-treat, as well as my husband's cubicle-or-treat at work....and there was PLENTY for Ian to be happy about without having to run around begging for candy that only grown-ups will eat.<BR/><BR/>Pet peeve? parents who bring their INFANTS trick or treating with a candy bag.<BR/><BR/>Also? trick-or-treaters older than 12 who ARE NOT EVEN DRESSED UP.

And let's be honest: that dad is going to eat most of his two-year-old's candy anyway, so why does he need more of his own?<BR/><BR/>Maybe you should just put out a sign saying you don't give treats away to anyone over twelve. Then when some lame-o dad holds out his bag, you can just point to the sign and shrug as if to say, "Sorry!
