My dad used to dress up for Halloween to hand out candy when I was a kid. And a few times
when I was in high school, I dressed up, too, and helped. It was fun! One year we even sat outside perfectly still, like Halloween decorations. Dad had one of those scooper type shovels with a bowl of candy across his lap. As kids would make their way toward the front door, ignoring us as mere decorations, Dad would slowly move the shovel and bowl toward them as he said, "Take one, please." A couple of times a kid would take off running back to the driveway where his/her parent was waiting. Sometimes they could be convinced to come back and get some
candy; other times they just kept their eyes on us as they went to the next house. It is one of the best Halloween memories I have.
