Mommy Dearest: Take the Loot or Give Halloween the Boot?
Mommy Dearest,
I don't like giving my three and four-year-old daughters candy. We've never gone trick-or-treating for this reason. But, this year all the families in our cul-de-sac are throwing an outdoor party since the holiday lands on a Friday.
