It was partly to save myself … we got rained on for Halloween this year so we had half as many kids come to the door. I had stocked up on a ton of candy and I wanted to get rid of it as much as possible. I really didn’t want to get stuck with several boxes of chocolates and chips at the end of the night. You should have seen the two teens that I decided were going to be the last ones I served for the night at 8:50pm … I had about a hundred little chocolate bars and about eight bags of little chips … I told them they were the last two I would serve for the night and I gave them everything. They were tall kids about maybe 14 or 15 and I could see myself in them. I thought, if I were them, I would have been very happy to meet an adult like me on Halloween night. Felt great to give all that stuff to them. Their eyes were wide and amazed as I filled their bags. They’ll enjoy it more than me.
