But I used Jill's ditty: soap or eats. Pretty inventive of your mother, Jill, to come up with that story! BTW... our grandkids had the good sense to NOT use the "smell my feet" when they went out on Halloween. Somehow they knew it was not appropriate. Besides, their parents were with them the whole time :-) Halloween traditions and memories are fun for kids of all ages. Thanks for your reflections.Jim Heffernanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04388986747065569089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676257508484188930.post-72424014198020248292011-10-28T20:39:52.306-05:002011-10-28T20:39:52.306-05:00I probably Trick or Treated in the same era as you...I probably Trick or Treated in the same era as you did...we also recited the 'soap or eats' at every door. That is, until my mother told us of a sweet little old widow lady on the next street whose windows got soaped because she ran out of candy. She went outside in freezing weather the next morning to clean her windows and that caused her to get pneumonia and die. I know the story was pure fabrication, but it worked!<br />BTW...remember getting home made popcorn balls or cookies from your neighbors? Maybe even a cup of cocoa?jillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7676257508484188930.post-25139875422569478492011-10-25T19:48:03.906-05:002011-10-25T19:48:03.906-05:00Growing up in Bloomington our chant was Trick or T...Growing up in Bloomington our chant was Trick or Treat, MONEY or eats.Kath1ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11544785732151375756noreply@blogger.com
