i’m more excited than i thought i’d be to give away candy to small children
like… a lot more excited
the tinest black captain america you’ve ever seen in your life and his two princess big sisters just took some fun-size hershey’s from me and i swear my heart LIT UP
so my apartment complex has little do-not-disturb signs we all put on our doors, one side is like “yes i will give you candy” and the other side is “pls don’t” and anyway a 3yo police officer just yelled “THIS ONE’S ORANGE” and then slammed on my door and i started crying
tiny princess beelined to the candy without saying trick or treat but said THANK YOU once she’d grabbed one and i died and was reborn a better, purer woman for it
older kids carefully take one (1) small candy from my basket until i urge them otherwise. smaller kids take one AT A TIME but will continue doing so until a parent, realizing i’m not about to tell tiny Mickey Mouse what to do, says “okay honey that’s enough”
