Sarah's Soap - Too old to have fun?

My daughter, the blogger expert, told me not to make my blog one of those soppy "I'm so blessed...happy...beautiful" blogs. (Apparently there is a blog dedicated to mocking those blogs) I hope she doesn't read my profile. So, my blog is going to be a mix of family info and me on a soap box. I figure it is my blog I can write my opinions. As a warning I am going to give the soapbox blogs a warning. These will include Sarah's soap in the title. You have been warned.

Where is it written by "they", as in "they say..." that there is an age limit on Halloween? In my neighborhood we had a Halloween activity that limited trick or treaters to 11 years and younger. Noticeably absent were the youth. Shouldn't we be encouraging these young people to be having wholesome healthy fun. My 12 year old was somewhat upset when a neighbor refused to give him candy because he was too old. I say (and remember this is my blog I can say what I want) if these kids want to have some healthy fun and dress up for an evening to get a little candy, what's wrong with that. We have had some great family memories with Halloween. Lighten up people. It's just a little piece of candy!!
