MUMMY, MUMMY AND PIRATE

These photos were also taken at the recent BBQ Bash. Next year, I will try to remember to ask the people at these booths their reason for the decoration. What do mummies and pirates have to do with BBQ? I must admit these photos are appropriate for this post about Halloween. We had about 30+ kids stopping by, most were with parents or an adult keeping an eye on the groups. This year, I noticed the kids did not even bother saying "Trick or Treat", they just walked up to our door, rang the bell and not saying a word, yet expected us to put the candy in their bag, already wide opened or the pumpkin container. One kid was so lazy that he did not lift up the container, yet gave me a look like, "You know where to put the candy, old lady." My biggest pet peeve was when the kids just walked away after getting the treat, without saying "Thank You". This is what this world has become, a sense of entitlement, expecting something without working for it, asking the government for handouts (bailouts) or blame every problems on someone else (i.e. the rich, the corporation, the parents)! Next year, I will make sure that to receive the treat, the kids will have to recite the Pledge of Allegiance or list the years the Red Wings won the Stanley Cup!
