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

That was a family rule. If there was no porch light, no decorations than we did not ring the door bell. It meant they didn't have anything for us, and we'd usually get preached at for being Satan's children. I love living in a um...can I put this politely? Probably not. Anyway. At least it's not the Bible-belt.

I didn't get any candy this year, either, and it's my first Halloween all alone! I just wouldn't answer the door, personally. Not your problem. Or give them a dime or something if you really want to give them something.

Well, I would've just not answered the door, but I'm pretty sure she could see me inside. Our kitchen is right at the front of the house, and you can totally see it from the front windows. I happened to be in the middle of making dinner at the time, too. *eyeroll*

The thing that kind of annoyed me was that she rang the doorbell and THEN knocked. Meanwhile, Darwin was barking and growling like a hound of hell, and... yeah.

But she was the only Trick or Treater last night. So either the other ones were smart enough not to go to the house with no porchlight, or things were just slow in our neighborhood.
