Trick or Treat?

Rubi had some kids come to the door on Halloween dressed up as... well, dressed up as teenagers.
That's just wrong.

Another blogger summed that practice up thusly:

If you're just going around not wearing a costume, then you're not trick or treating. At that point, you're just actively begging for food.


Granted, you're being proactive and going to people's houses to beg. You are the go getter of the homeless panhandler crowd.


Still, you're just begging for food.

Congratulations. You're dressed as a moron.

I completely agree!

Trick or Treat?
