Halloween

So here it is Halloween and it has got us thinking about Trick-or-Treating and what we will do with our child. It is sad to think back that when we were children we walked around the neighborhood to every house and got pillowcases full of candy. Now, as adults, we live in a neighborhood and just manage to get a handfull of kids. Not that I blame parents for the lack of kids, why has society gotten so dangerous that this once fun activity is no more?

On top of it, a school in Massachusetts has just put a stop to all Halloween activities at school (one of the only safe places for it now a days) because we have become too PC. I understand the rationale behind the decision but what ever happened to letting kids be kids? Should kids get taught about diversity, religions, and other things that make us different? Of course. But shouldn't they also be taught to have fun, enjoy life, and be yourself?

Just thoughts to ponder on a Monday morning.

Happy Halloween.
