In my old age I would rather not have children banging on my door for treats and having eggs thrown at my house or worse if I dont open the door, But alas I put up with it each year because I don't want to have the hassle of spending an hour or so cleaning my windows and car the following day.
I have to asked the question..... why would parents allow their children to take sweets off strangers who in some cases do not wish to participate, but are forced to because of the possible consequences of not particpating, especially considering the all powerful covid scamdemic is still with us?
Cynical, may be but realistic.
