Comment on When kids come trick-or-treating, what happens if I choose trick?

  So how does that work, what does the ritual demand then? Do kids do it immediately or do they circle back later? Do they come prepared for that outcome? And why would any adult ever answer like that if they know that’s what’s going to happen? Or is it enough to not open the door? Or to say I have no treats? Do you have personal experience of such outcomes?

    Typically circle back late. Normally the adolescent ones without guardians. You wake up and house is in a state in need of cleaning.

    Typically, home outer light needs to be on to signal you are open for giving treats. So no rational adult would not have a treat as that is a dick move. Some leave out containers of candies as offerings to avoid outcome if it they aren’t home.

    If no candy, money is always acceptable! I heard a story of old lady giving rolls of coins once. Doubt kid will say no to money.

      In some ways money is actually better than candy.

    We’d wait until nobody was around and then sneak out with eggs a d toilet paper and then cover your house in it.
