Halloween Night

The excitement to go trick-or-treating for toddlers is completely different than the excitement that teenagers have. What do teenagers think about when it is Halloween? I know that the only think that is on my mind is CANDY. However, toddlers, like my three and half year old brother, is excited to wear his costume and go trick-or-treating just for the fun of it.

"Let's go trick-or-treating!" That is the only thing on little kids' mind on Haloween nights. My brother, being no different from any of the other kids, complained the whole day to go. Since he is three and half years old, he is still trying to understand that trick-or-treating is something that happens at night. When the first group of people came at our house for candy, my brother started to cry that he wants to go too. The main thing on his mind was that why did I pass out candy to the people. He didn't know that along with going out at night for treats, you have to give treats to people that come over too.

After ten minutes of wasting his energy on crying, my brother finally was smart enough to put on his costume and ready to go. Slow in understanding the simple concept of trick-or-treating, he just stood outside the doors for candy. Being his older sister, I had to make sure he knows what to do. I had to ring the door bells for him and say Trick-or-Treat out loud.

The whole time we were out trick-or-treating, I discovered that my brother didn't even care what kind and how much candy he got from the people. All he cared to look around for was other kids in their costumes. He was so intrigued by other toddlers' costumes that he would just stand there and look at them. The next thing he would do was ask me to promise him if he could get that costume for next Halloween. The next Halloween, when hopefully he will understand the importance of CANDY more than the costumes.
