Is it just me, or do we need to send these lazy trick-or-treaters to candy-scoring boot camp?

I LOVE and wholeheartedly AGREE with your essay! I am WAY past trick-or-treating years, but even my kids were raised with Halloween "etiquette!" They knew they better say "trick-or-treat" before they even THOUGHT about opening that bag to receive whatever was bestowed upon them....and they darn sure were appreciative enough to say "Thank You" to every door-greeter. We walked....it made it more fun & exciting. Getting in & out of a vehicle with costume, or lack thereof, seems tedious & bothersome. Slows the whole thing down if you ask me! Economy hurting costumes?... My foot! I bet mom has lipstick to give you a big clown smile & a red nose. Add over-sized clothes....stuff with a pillow. Ta-Dah!.... Borrow dad's work-boots & be a plumber or mechanic or what-ever!.... How about overalls & a hat & some straw? Poof! Instant scarecrow! ...I could go on & on as well...it's called IMAGINATION kids & it's about time mommy & daddy forced you to use it more often....or maybe mommy & daddy forgot what it is? And to those who answered you without actually reading what you had to say? Why?.....Are you busy thinking up next year's costume? LOL!
