Trick or Tweet?

This morning I overheard a conversation between two young teens:

“I’m just going to buy a bag of candy.”


“Why?! It’s Halloween! You can get FREE candy!”


“Yeah…but you have to walk all around.”

I have heard that we, as a nation, are extremely lazy…and I guess the above exchange is valid proof. Sure, the girls are getting to the age where it’s more about the social aspect of it all rather than becoming a princess for the night. But even so…the very thought that it is too much work to have to walk up and down a block to receive candy, when all you really have to do is rip open an entire bag and eat it while vicariously experiencing Halloween via Facebook and Twitter, is becoming the norm for our youth.

So, if your doorbell does not ring and you’re left with a huge cauldron of candy at the end of the night don’t fret, just log on to your computer and chomp down on your treats while you read all your tweets! Happy Halloween!
