See, the thing is that in my country we don’t really have a tradition for trick or treating since halloween itself is entirely imported from the US by corporations and stores trying to offload more candy and junks for profit. And still, every god damn year I buy candy just in case any of the kids in our neighbourhood decides they want to this year start trick or treating, because I wouldn’t want to be the house where a kid comes to our door, excited to get some sweets and have a bit of fun, and receive only dissappointment and sadness.

However unsurpisingly every year I end up eating all the candy with my spouse. But it’s a sacrifice we’re willing to do, because if the day ever comes and kids here start trick or treating, I want to spread happiness from the start, since in this day and age kids deserve to do silly things and just be happy.

If anyone tries to tell me that I’m only making excuses, I will deny all such ludicrous allegations until the day I die!

As a dad of a three year old with a VERY ravenous appetite for knowledge, I can confirm this. It somehow also feels like that kinda seems to be developing some thinking skills because the kid is sometimes surprisingly profound and has a magnificent imagination.

Or… you know, a library. Kinda like a bookstore but free!

If 4 is some weird ass moomin spoon like I think it might, definitely that one because fuck yeah moomin!

Otherwise it has to be the goblin shovel.

Same, I don’t even care if I’m wrong about it since it’s not like I’m some biologist or something, I don’t see why I should be correct on this as it won’t have a positive effect in my life nor will it really have on in anyone else’s life either. It hurts no one, everybody wins.
