Do you steal from your kids' Halloween loot?

[pokerfan]

when they sleeping or otherwise not looking?

(I always suspected my mom did.)

1. never,

what I do is sample specific candy that I deem as questionable.. you know.. for their own safety.

6. That's just demonstrating your love for them

2. No, but my children have learned to suspect goblins.

3. Do You Know Of Another Reason To Have Children, Sir?

5. Sometimes...

But mostly I tend to buy too much and "accidentally" end up with extra in my bucket.

8. This is my strategy LOL.

I am currently looking at more "leftover" candy than we would actually eat in a couple months. I will be generous and share, with a few deserving beings, because of this strange anomaly (LOL).

I love Halloween. I can buy boatloads of candy and not feel guilty. ;-)

7. When someone asks, "WON'T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?" I'm proud to say I'm there.

It's really just a sad statement on society that there is always a piece or two that needs to be confiscated for everyone's good. Who's thinking of the children? Me. I am.

9. Nope. She gives me what she doesn't like - chocolate w/ peanuts or peanut butter

All the Reese's - for me! :9

10. The POINT of Halloween is to send your kids out toget the parents candy. They get 3 pieces if lucky.

hehehe.

11. It isn't stealing

it's checking that the candy is safe and fresh.

12. Mine's all growed up.

But I used to "test" her candy. Can't be too careful, you know.

14. It's not stealing, it's TAXES! Only RWers think taxes are theft!

I mean, you provide them the infrastructure! They have to pay their fair share!

Cultural Diversity Appendix: we don't celebrate Haloween in Brazil, but in September 27 we celebrate Saints Cosmas and Damian. Same principles apply.
