My Halloween Utopia
Wouldn't it be awesome if instead of those little short people knocking on your door looking for candy, someone knocked on your door and offered you some of their candy? This would be the ideal situation for me. Because all I want is one. Not an entire bag, not lots of different candy, just one or two cups.
My mother was always a door-hog when it came to Halloween, pushing me away from the front door with her body when the bell rang, even going so far as to block the opening by standing in front of the door so not only was I unable to ever give out candy, but I couldn't see the costumes people wore.
Eight years ago I moved out, but the only time candy was involved in door-knocking it was in Florida, and two of those little short people wanted me to buy it from them for some school thing. So I don't ever bother buying candy. But I could really go for a cup or two. Would it be terribly wrong to mug a shortie for that? I wouldn't take ALL their candy...

Dude, you mug my kid, I will hunt you down... oh, you just want to take some candy? In that case, go right ahead. Will save me the grief of having to ration those things.
It would be my absolute pleasure to send you down a mini bar or two of some sweet Belgium or some cheap American chocolate.
I would be delighted to send you my kid's candy. Except she'd work out what I'd done and I'd never be forgiven.
Same as Dave said. :) Except that I'd be sending German and Swiss chocolate. Or other candy like liqorice or gummy bears.
I've got some Reeses I can send your way :)
My personal favorites are Kit Kats, and yes, I'd be willing to mug a 5 year old for them. Bring it, children!
Man, that thing about your mom body-blocking you? Sucks.
But this is when having kids is helpful. We totally took all of Cai's candy since a) we've never let him had candy before because we're MEAN and b) he's allergic to most candies because of the horrible nuts and finally c) I wanted it.
