By that logic, the kidsโ parents have jobs so they can buy their own kids their own goddamn candy.
We do. But on Halloween, we trade showing off our children in cute costumes for candy. And I mean... I also buy candy for the other kids.
It's a holiday.
Teenagers in costumes are less cute.
I'll pass out candy to anyone who comes to the door, and I like offering to parents as well, but I judge parents that have a big bucket for themselves the same way I judge people that empty bowls at unattended houses. Just because it's technically allowed doesn't make it approved.
