1. Communicate
Share costume ideas with friends on Facebook so no one arrives at the party looking the same.
2. Prepare
Children need energy to go from house-to-house. Feed them before they go out.
3. Stick Together
Kids must stick together when trick-or-treating so they don’t get lost.
4. Patience
Children need to learn the art of begging.
5. Inspection
Place candy in the Sort and Scan O-Matic 5,000 to separate the good from the bad and enable efficient treat consumption.

What if you’re trying to lose your children on purpose.
When trick-or-treating, and they’re not looking, quickly change your costume and run away.
Great…thanks. That will make it much easier.
