It's the "mom and dad tax". Or in your case, the uncle tax. Just don't let them give you all the orange/black candies as your payment.

My kids don't like Whoppers or Milk Duds, so I get those. Anything else I have to work for.

A typical post-Halloween conversation --


ME: This Milky Way doesn't look safe, I need to test it.

KIDS: Wait, no!!!! DAAAAAAAAAD!!

ME: I only ate it because I love you. Say...the wrapper on that Snickers looks like it's been tampered with...

KIDS: NoooooooooooOOOOOO!!! (run upstairs with candy bags)

If I had two children, I would say, "If there is only one of a candy, it's mine. There must be two or more of a candy so that they can be evenly distributed." I would also do the 'tamper' thing and the 'tax' thing and the "I'm going to put your candy in a safe place so you don't eat it all in one night" thing. ;)

This is why I would be a lousy parent - because I would do this kind of thing to my kids WITHOUT a TV personality prompting to me.

Also, the kids after the 4 minute mark are the most awesome kids EVAR. If they were my kids, I'd probably be a little more cool with being a parent.

Place candy in the middle of the floor and fight for what you want. Show no mercy on cute niece/nephews.

The definitive guide to trading Halloween candy. Everyone should view this. Be proactive.

Halloween is a filthy tradition and should be banned, I suggest you all stop now and drop of the disgusting teeth rotting candy at my house to be slowly disposed of. ;)

Sweeeeeet. I heart Special Darks. I would heart them more if they were hardcore dark (70%+ cacao).

I refuse to allow my nieces and nephews to participate in the holiday and when i have children i will not allow them to either. just like i will not tell them the myth of santa clause of the toothfairy or the easter bunny and so on....

I'm not arguing with you here- but I'm curious as to how you have the authority over your nieces and nephews to say what they can/can't do? Are you their legal guardian?

I reeeeally don't want this to be an argument. I just can't imagine trying to tell my sister that her daughter can't dress up for Halloween and go trick or treating.

as far as my nieces and nephews i was referring (and perhaps i should have stated this earlier) that if they are with me for halloween.... other then that it is their parents idea and all i can really do is explain to the kids why i refuse to participate or why i refuse to condone their parents decision to allow them to.
