the frig blig

The annual occurrence of kids’s most popular holiday came last night to our neighborhood. Kids dress up in costumes, and go begging for candy.

When I was a kid we did it too. The routine was to ring the doorbell, and chant ‘Trick or treat!’ when the door opened. After taking the proffered candy, the polite among us would say ‘Thank you.’

Kids these days, more often than not, after taking the candy say ‘Happy Halloween!’. WTF? I suppose it’s happy for the little freeloaders. But something about that phrase is just too like ‘Have a nice day!’. It’s unnecessary expression of facile kindness.

Boo-hoo on you!
