Ten signs you are too old for Halloween:
Ten Signs You Are Too Old For Halloween

You get winded from knocking on the door.

You have to have someone 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 Keith Richards mask! and you're not wearing a mask.

When the door opens you yell, "Trick or..." and you 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 hair piece.

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

You avoid going to houses where your ex-wives live.

3. I find the walker can add features to an already terrific
Halloween ensemble.

Last year I hired a kid to throw pumpkins for me. It was money well spent. When he got arrested, the police didn't believe him when he told them I paid him to do it. An old man and a walker would do such a thing? Heavens no. One could not imagine the joy of seeing the policeman force the kid to apologize to me.

Getting old does have its moments.

Happy Halloween.

5. What a devil !!
I love to have fun, but not hurt anyone. I wish I could go out and ask for candy and when given it, as if they can't do better etc and make them hate me. It would be fun to do it to our son up the road, but he would recognize my voice, if he did answer the doorbell, that is. We are the only house on the street that is lit up and it is really lit up. I love kids. They are untouched by greed etc. So open to learning to love....not doing what you were teaching. LOL Mrs. Moose
