She would be going with me. -- nm - spamlet Oct 15, 07:58 31
- does she have plans for a party or trick or treating? some towns (like ours) do trick or treating on a different day. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 08:01 16
  - St. Louis is pretty much a Halloween only town. -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 08:03
  - Trick or treating on a day other than Halloween is the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. - MDH Oct 15, 08:02 14
    - Word! I hate that some places trick or treat on a different day. So very wrong. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 08:15
    - If you had children, you'd want to protect them from the evil spirits that lurk on All Hallows' Eve -- nm - Roger More Oct 15, 08:06 1
      - but that's the day vampires and demons take off from doing evil! - Beaker Oct 15, 08:06
    - yes. (many towns that do it don't use the 'school' argument but 'kids will behave better') -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 08:05 6
      - What six year old behaves well on a stomach full of candy? -- nm - Roger More Oct 15, 08:07
      - that seems like wishful thinking to me. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 08:06 4
        
        it's common in conservative areas of central PA. my wife's town did this when she was growing up. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 15, 08:06 3
        
        I don't think "conservative" has anything to do with it. I think it's predominantly a midwest thing. Here it's Tuesday the 30th this year. -- nm - Ender Oct 15, 08:14
        
        i just don't know why kids are going to behave better on Saturday than, say, Tuesday. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 08:11 1
        
        Exactly, if anything worse. Because then all of the teenagers can stay out late and cause trouble. -- nm - MDH Oct 15, 08:12
    - Over in Alton, Il...they have a huge Halloween parade on Oct 31 every year. In an effort to get more attendance downtown on parade night...they allow - Jim Oct 15, 08:04
    - I know. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 08:04
    - yes -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 08:03
    - ditto. -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 08:03
- It's a pretty big deal. Hell, I've had 6 World Series roll through this town in my lifetime...never gotten to a game. -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 08:01 2
  - Yeah, I was picked in the lottery this time. - spamlet Oct 15, 08:02 1
    - That's awesome. -- nm - Jim Oct 15, 08:05
- She should love it. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 07:59 1
  - she's 8. i am not so sure i would have. (when she's 20 she'll be glad this happened though) -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 08:02
- Does she like baseball? Tell her, you will hit up some stores the next day for some sale candy to rectify the situation -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 07:59 8
  - She loves baseball *and* Halloween. - spamlet Oct 15, 08:01 7
    - candy sales will heal any hurt! go to Game -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 08:03
    - can she dress up and go to the game in costume? -- nm - Andie Oct 15, 08:02 4
      - Was just going to say, let her dress up, and have her hold a sign "I skipped Trick or Treating for a win." or something -- nm - MDH Oct 15, 08:03 3
        
        Very nice suggestion. -- nm - Krusty Oct 15, 08:16
        
        perfect! -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 08:04
        
        Admiral thinking right here -- nm - Beaker Oct 15, 08:04
    - I think go to game. it's so huge. -- nm - loosilu Oct 15, 08:01
