[QUOTE="keista, post: 475374, member: 11965"] Centuries ago. Ppl used to put out sweet baked goods as a "bribe" to keep the spirits away. Ppl also dressed as "spirits" so the real ones would not know they were ppl and take them away, so the ppl dressed as the spirits would go around collecting all the baked treats. Fast forward to modern day, prepackaged candy is easier and safer. Our TorT went quite well. Down side for me, was noticing all the Aspie *traits* I had missed in DD1 which I had chalked up to anxiety or a foul mood. The most obvious for many (not for me possibly because I was raised by a very mono-tonal Aspie) was her voice. Three little girls walked up to EVERY house chanting Trick or Treat in those precious sing songy voices. :choir: Right along side them was DD1 in a very gruff, flat, seemingly not having fun, mono-tonal TRICK OR TREAT:groooansmileyf: Yeah, sounded like she was groaning - EVERY time. :sigh: At least now I know and am perceiving her correctly (I hope) [/QUOTE]
