I once gave a single banana to a group of kids and told them to be sure to split it between them.
That was a massive improvement over the year before, where I had nothing at all.
It was extra sad because their parents only allowed them to go through the building they lived in, and it didn't have many people.
Thing is, halloween isn't really a thing there, plus I am absolutely terrible with dates.
When I was a kid my father handed out cans of soup.
My MIL used to work for a dentist. One year he encouraged? required? the employees to hand out toothbrushes on Halloween. My hubby begged his mom not to do it, to just fib and tell her boss she had. But... she went through with it. They got egged that night & their pumpkin was smashed. She fucked around and found out.
Classic
Could have handed out banana but that's just me
Your birthdays must have been memorable
