Unexpected Children: The Scariest Halloween Terror

It’s Halloween. Our lights are off and we are clearly not giving out candy because my husband and I simply can’t afford to this year. We are in the living room watching TV when we hear the front door creak open. Thinking it’s my sister, I go to greet her, only to realize it’s a couple of kids and some people I don’t know. I scream, and they run back outside.

My husband goes out to talk to them, and it turns out that they thought that simply walking into our house for candy was okay. My husband told them that if they ever did that again, he’d call the security company. They haven’t been back since, but a lot of our neighbors talked to them and finally made them realize that just walking into a house that isn’t yours isn’t okay, even for candy.
