You Will Be Booed

Boo! Did I scare you?
Probably not.
You've heard many boos tonight.
We're looking for chocolate.
If a toothbrush lands in the bag...
I will stand in your yard and boo. Booooo! Booooooooo!

Boo: (verb) to show dislike or disapproval of someone or something by shouting “Boo” slowly



We are going to trick or treat on Thursday (not dressed as prostitutes), and I will be looking for the chocolate. Reese's Cups. Almond Joys. Crunch Bars. (I had a dream about a Crunch Bar last week.) Not that I am going to collect candy; that is Katarina's job. But I will help her eat said candy. And I really would boo, at least internally, if someone was to hand out toothbrushes.

Big Pile Of Halloween Candy

If you are going to participate in Halloween, you have to really participate. With candy. Because that is how it works.

What kind of candy do you give away on Halloween?

  1. I agree!! Every year I am tempted to get the crappy candy just os I won't eat it...but then I don't. I go for chocolate. And maybe some nerds. I love nerds. The candy. Well..the people too..but not to eat.

    1. I love nerds, too! They are some of my favorites (the candy and the people).

  2. I'm told we're to expect 300 trick-or-treaters in our new house.
    Yikes.

  3. Sadly, we don't get trick-or-treaters. We live in the woods and people can't find our house. Boo!

    1. Ah. That is sad. If I lived near you, I could stop by and then we could just split a bag of candy by ourselves.

    1. That is really random. We've only done the trick or treating thing once before, so I'm not an expert, but I have never heard of people handing out pennies.

  5. I have to admit I live in nowhere, so we drive to town to take the kids trick or treating. Last year we had no one to take, which was nice, even though we went with our friends. This year we get to take the grandbaby.

    1. How much fun was that!? (I'm guessing a lot of fun.) I can't believe I missed seeing pictures of the grandbaby all dressed up. We don't live in a great trick or treating area, either.

  6. All of the little kids in our neighborhood have outgrown TorT so I don't even have an excuse to get candy.

    1. Boo! I guess it would confuse your neighbors greatly if your kids knocked on their doors in costume and asked for candy. lol.

  9. We are giving Kit Kats, but I kind of secretly hope no one takes any, so I can have them all to myself!-Ashley

    1. I buy a bunch of kit kats praying that since all the other houses in our cul de sac don't participate people would skip our lonely porch light and I can keep them.

    2. Kit Kats are one of my favorites! I hope you had some left over.

  10. Yeah! What's with the toothbrushes? I mean, come on!

    I love chocolate!

    1. Chocolate is always a good thing.

      Do y'all do Halloween in France?

  11. They'd be lucky to only get a boo in response to a toothbrush. I'm thinking more flaming bags of dog poo.

  12. We have never had a trick or treater come to our door. Usually I buy candy (just in case) and wind up eating it all. This year I didn't even do that! =)

    F.Y.I. - I just realized that when I moved my blog ... I somehow managed to mess up my RSS subscriptions. E-mail subs are fine. If you would be so kind as to resubscribe I would be ever so thankful! http://feeds.feedblitz.com/butterflymasterpiece

    1. Of course I will resubscribe! :)

      You are a stronger woman than I. There is no passing up the candy aisle when I am the one shopping.
