Halloween is one of those holidays where you let your imagination run wide. It's a time of fun and sharing of ideas. I'm sure trick-or-treating is a different experience today than it was 20-30 years ago. What has been the wildest thing you have heard from somebody trick-or-treating?

Not particularly wild... but I figure I'll share.
A dentist use to hand out toothpaste and brushes for halloween in our neighborhood.
Another person handed out apples. Handing out apples for Halloween is an excellent way of manufacturing applesauce. Problem was it was all over the streets...
One time I was dressed up like a bee on Halloween. It was around 3pm in the afternoon. A little kid scorned at me and said "Why are you in a costume... it's NOT EVEN HALLOWEEN!"
I was like... "Uuuuh... yea it is.....?"
And be careful dressing up like mortal kombat characters... all the Michael Myers, Fred Kruegers, and Jasons in hockey masks try to start fights with you when you walk down the street!
I like mismatched pairs of costumed individuals... like Waldo from the Where's Waldo books walking with Captain America. Makes me smile.
What is fun is wearing costumes all day. Going to Kinko's Copies is much more fun when you're dressed like Wolverine
Confession Time: I'm relatively short and usually wear masks for Halloween, so I still Trick or Treat instead of hand out candy even though I'm in my 20's LOL
Happy Halloween!
