Sorry to crash your party here - I am not a parent. But it turns out that tomorrow I am taking my friend's 9 yr old trick or treating (possibly with a friend or two from school). Is there anything I need to know?
I don't have to go up to each door with her, right? I can stay on the sidewalk, yes? I don't have to get dressed up, right? I never Trick or Treated as a kid so can't really go based on what I did - there's nothing to it, right? They ring the bell, yell trick or treat, get candy, say thank you, and go to the next house, right? And I check all the candy to make sure it's all sealed. Is that it? |

| No you don't have to go up, but be visible. No you don't ave to dress up. Carry flashlights and stay out of he streets. Have fun! |

Be sure to snag some candy for yourself!

That's it!
Remind them to say trick or treat first, then say thank you. And take just one piece -- you get what you get and you don't get upset... don't root around looking for the "best" candy. 9 year olds should have it down though. Don't let them knock the litle kids over in a rush, either! |

| Take a backpack. Kid's candy sack will get heavy soon and you might help her to carry around her prey. |

NO WAY! Kids have to carry their own candy! If they have so much candy they can't walk... time to go home! |
