How to trick or treat when your 17

If you are still interested in trick or treating above the age of 13 the following process is for your benefit:
  1. Choose a thoughtful costume. When selecting your costume keep in mind your audience. Scary and inappropriate will not get you your desired amount of candy. However, funny and creative will, homemade costumes are usually the best.
  2. When you have a costume selected, you must create a plan. Make a round of your street first, then once you have practiced, you may venture out into the unknown.
  3. Practicing as a 17 year old trick or treater is key. You may be out of the swing of things, so while going to your friendly neighbors first you can follow by example from a 5 or 6 year old in front of you.
  4. While getting back into the groove you must always be careful. When you hear a young adult sing "Trick or treat smell my feet give me something good to eat", you will realize it doesn't have the same effect as when 4 year old boys do it. So remember to be tasteful while begging for your favorite candy.
  5. Be nice! As hard as it may be, always let the young ones ahead of you. This way, when you are at the end of the line you may get more candy for doing your good deed.
  6. Finally, always say thank you! Nobody like a stuck up 17 year old that steals candy.
