If they continue to knock on the door just eat faster.
18. Hand out Pepcid AC with your candy explaining the only candy you have is from 1987 and they may “need it later.”

3. If you’re a parent taking your kids trick-o-treating and you encounter houses which are decorated to look haunted, tell your kids to “wait on the sidewalk” and tell them it’s too “dangerous to get the candy themselves.” Approach the house cautiously and when someone comes to the door and turns porch light on bound down the steps in terror and tell you child to “run for their life!”
