My parents give out full size candy bars and one little girl this year came up to the porch to get candy and stopped dead in her tracks, gasped softly, and whispered, "They're big"
It was adorable. I think this was the first time she'd gotten full size bars for Halloween, based on her reaction.
I answered a doorbell last night and there was the tiniest little girl I'd ever seen walking. When I opened the door she responded like she just won a million dollars. Couldn't even form words over the happiness exploding from her glee as she jumped up and down, fists shaking in the air. It was indeed the cutest thing I've ever seen.
I looked up at the father and he was just glowing.
Peanut M&Ms are pretty good. I always get a regular sized bag of M&Ms at the airport for like $6. Idk why I like them so much more when sitting on an airplane, but I do, so there.
I adore the little girl that did a doubletake when she saw I had bananas (and bags of popcorn and gummy candy). She went "O.M.G." as she took a banana.
Fruit was surprisingly popular. I ran out of oranges and had to substitute in banana. And I think kids liked the popcorn because it comes in impressively big bags.
We give out toys, stickers, jewelry, temporary tattoos, stuff like that. Little cheap things we can buy in bulk. Kids love it. They go crazy over a light-up Halloween ring or a high bounce pumpkin ball and we're not giving them junk food.
