Dear Little Child Who Just Rang My Doorbell and Got The Bejesus Scared Out Of You By My Patchwork Cujo,

Uh, did I miss something, or did they change the whole "Only Trick or Treat at the Houses Where Porch Lights Are ON" rule?  I'm sorry, but there have been too many Halloweens where I have spent a small mint on candy, only to have it gone un-trick-or-treated.  Or whatever.  Please do not look at me like I am the Grinch that stole your Fun-Sized Snickers when I tell you as politely as I can, while my dog is barking like a moron in the background, that we aren't doing candy this year.  THINGS HAVE BEEN A LITTLE BUSY.

Also, what was that costume?  A demonic pirate cheerleader?  Bzuh? 

Grouchily yours,
Bunneh

Now, see, I always remembered the porch light rule, and usually, if we went to a non-lit house, they had scary, cranky old people who'd scold us for bothering them. I happened to be in the kitchen making dinner when she came to the door and couldn't leave the stove -- so after ringing the doorbell? She knocked. Meanwhile, my dog is going berserk. *sigh*

We only had one tonight, though -- so many no-show years. Blargh. :\
