OldGreyDuck and his nasty Halloween tricks: tsk tsk

My adult children have told me that this is yet another reason I will end up going to Hell. (However, they laugh about it.)

Every year, on Halloween, we have a parade of children come through the neighborhood, dressed in assorted costumes. We will fuss and exclaim over the children as we see yet another “Tinkerbell” or “Superhero” knock on the door. It’s wonderful.

My “Halloween Fun” involves the older teenagers who will come around. Usually it is a girl (or a flock of them) all dressed along the lines of “Sexy Witch” or “Naughty Nurse” or something like that. For them? A special item is dropped in the pillowcase with the candy.

I will buy a bag of candy that comes in a “Fun Size” box. Example; Junior Mints or Milk Duds.

I will carefully open the flap on the box with a razor knife, remove the candy, and then replace it with a condom. (No, I don’t poke holes in them!) You can usually get them for cheap at the “99 Cent Store” or a place like it. Usually they come 3 to a small box. After I tuck the foil envelope in the box, I will take a hot glue gun and with a small drop of glue, seal the box up.

Obviously, these are set aside in a specific bowl, so on Halloween night, the children get actual candy, while that 17-year-old in the black body stocking with a tail and cat ears gets the doctored item.

Been doing this for several years, and thus far, nobody has figured out that I was the culprit.

Trick AND Treat...!!!
