Safety tip.
Halloween is just around the corner
so this is a reminder to prepare in advance. This tip is directed toward the
homeowners that will be hosting many trick or treaters, so I’m going to break
this down for you "old school."
The
ultimatum "trick or treat" given by children who call on houses to solicit gifts
at Halloween alone should be the first clue.
Trick or Treat does not mean a
"gift in exchange for a prayer for the dead", anymore. It means give me a
treat or I'll be back with a few friends with a little trick of my own. Now for
those of you who like to hand out popcorn balls, sticky candy apples or fruit;
you've moved yourself to the top of the "Will visit later list" The "my porch
light is off so don't come here " homes are also on the fast track to the list.
So in short if you provide a
reasonable treat of sugar substance you should be ok. If you plan on being gone
or hiding out just leave a bowl of approved goodies on the steps. An ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure!
