We went with our daugher and SIL to take (grand)son Trick or Treating tonight--
he was a cowboy and looked very cute w/his boots and hat...
not many homes in our area of subdivision had their porch light on--
we went around the block and house was lighted up==
he went to the door and nice older man (70+) came to the door--
when the boy said "trick or treat" the man said we don't have any candy--we are Swedish--and don't know anything about American customs"...

no problem--cowboys don't cry--
but wondered if we were the first people to ring their bell tonight...
cause he didn't turn off the porch light when we left...

Well - that's sad - he could have at least gave the kid a quarter. We live in a great neighborhood - everyone giving - tons of kids - almost ran out of candy.

Those people have lived in that house for several years--at least as long as we have lived here--
have seen them when out on walks and bike rides--
so if they are "unfamiliar" with American customs it is by design--not lack of exposure...
not their first Halloween...
