HALLOWEEN: No lights, no candy

It’s time — again — to speak (write) about Hallow’een and Trick or Treat.

If a house is dark, it should NOT be approached. Every year I hear of doorbells being rung and pounding on doors. If the house is dark, there is a reason.

*No one is at home.

*Old folks (some) go to bed when the sun goes down.

*There is illness.

*Some folks are afraid to answer the door to strangers.

No matter what the reason, parents should tell their children not to approach these homes. It is simple: If the house is dark, DO NOT GO THERE.
