Early Halloween Tips for Seniors



You know you are too old to Trick or Treat when:

You get winded from knocking on the door.



You have to have another kid chew the candy for you.

You ask for high fiber candy only.



When someone drops a candy bar in your bag, you lose your balance and fall over.

People say: 'Great Boris Karloff Mask,' and you're not wearing a mask.



When the door opens you yell, 'Trick or...' And can't remember the rest.

By the end of the night, you have a bag full of restraining orders.



You have to carefully choose a costume that won't dislodge your hairpiece.

You're the only Power Ranger in the neighborhood with a walker.



And the number one reason Seniors should not go Trick Or Treating...

You keep having to go home to pee.

No matter, have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN anyway.

    Sylvia, this post about Halloween is beautiful. I like the images and the atmosphere! We will have Halloween here in Turin as well.

    My physical birthday is actually on Halloween.

    The seniors should be out there with the kids then. These are all cool tricks, and the kids can focus on the treats.

    When we realize that we are already wearing a costume, we can actually scare ourselves and jump right out of our skin.

    Halloween is not such a festival in the UK - we have the innocent end (little children dressed as fairies - I know!) and the nastier element - silly teenagers tipping over dustbins, posting obnoxious things through letter-boxes. We also have the Fundamentalists who think it's all the work of the devil and won't countenance the fun of it. For me, it's All Souls Night - a time to remember those who have travelled on - and why not laugh as you remember?
    Loved the Senior Citizen take!!

    We do not 'do' Hallowe'en, but this is a good laugh! There are no kids in the area, and I 'did' the feast at school every year. I guess I put my dues in and I'm happy not to have any candy around!!!
