My sister is 23 and still dresses up and goes out knocking doors for candy… and I find it weird but I let her do her. It got me thinking, at what age do you think someone should stop Trick r Treating at? Just curious.
When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.
- C.S. Lewis
Good on your sister for not losing track of what makes her happy. Not doing things just because they are “childish” is the most childish trait an adult can display.
THATS the rest of the quote!!?! Ha. Man I’ve always just heard it stop at “ childish things”. Makes more sense now
You heard it that way because that’s because that’s the end of 1 Corinthians 13:11:
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
C.S. Lewis is playing off of a Bible quote and that became its own thing.
In Mexico, there are two dates for “trick or treat”. One is for kids (the Day of ~the Holly Innocents~ All the Saints) and the next day is for Day of the dead or Día de Muertos, which is for everyone, in a clearly adult-centric celebration. The treats in the first day are candy-like, in the second day it’s very-Mexican-food-like.
Ask your sister which one would she celebrate. The rightest answer is both, the right is one or the other, the wrong is none.
Also, if she’s watching after some kids, that’s great and deserves a treat. Ultimately, as this post and comments suggests, it all depends on the people’s heart.
I would put together a costume if it meant I could go trick-or-treating and get tamales and empanadas instead of candy.
- I’ll give a decrepit old dude candy, but i draw the line at actual vampires
The key is to not invite them in, silly. But, then again, who would be inviting trick 'r treaters in? Eh, it’s late, don’t mind me…
She needs to grow up. 😆
You need to - eventually you’ll realize that fun is more important than what other people think. Do what you love at any age!
adults walking around begging for candy with little kids is embarrassing as fuck. If that’s their idea of fun then so be it. Won’t stop me from laughing and making fun of these dumb asses
Yeah there’s ‘begging for candy’ and there’s chaperoning your kids.
But then there’s also those shit-rat adults on the doorbell videos pouring whole bowls of candy into their bags and skulking away.
I’m talking about the adults who never grew up. Act like addled mental cases. Usually doped up with Adderall. I’m not talking about parents taking their kids out trick or treating. Anyways, those shit-rat adults taking all the candy are losers.
Dude, shut the fuck up and go look up the history of Halloween.
It isn’t about fucking candy
Nor is lemmy about being a giant douche, but it didn’t stop you.
