Yeah, my last year I was 12 and around 5’9. I got some looks

Are you me? I was a giant at 11 when I hit 5’9”!

Still there quite a few decades later.

Yeah, I made it to 6’0 and that was it for me

This was also my experience, except one person actually told me I was too old to be trick-or-treating. It didn't help that my grim reaper costume was actually scaring the smaller children.

My first year to skip trick-or-treating, I hid in my mom's bushes. When people would walk up to take candy, I'd casually walk out with my hands in a nonchalant "surprise" pose, and I'd say "boo" in the most calm, monotone voice I could muster. People would jump or scream a little, see me approaching them fully deadpan, and scream before running away.

I was asked to stop by some of the neighborhood parents who said it was significantly more terrifying and traumatizing than if I had performed a proper jump-scare.

My last year was in high school. We filled our buckets with candy that we purchased ourselves, and then ran around the neighborhood "restocking" all the houses after yelling "Trick-or-Treat!" We'd accept and immediately eat one piece of candy each from anyone who offered, and one of us would ask, "what do we say?" and we'd all shout "thaaank yoooooouuuuu!" with candy in our mouths.

A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:
