Hi Gershon, I remember those days, but I recalled it was more like "Dancing on the Ceiling", lol! Good One - Debbie

Unless the parent steals the candy and sends the kids to bed. I saw a kid totally high on sugar.

Love this one Gershon. Reminds me of when my kids used to go trick or treating and they came back with so much candy. The following month it was a trip to the dentist to have their teeth cleaned and fluoridated. Good stuff here. God Bless, JB
