[Image]Inspired by Katherine's liveblogging, I thought I should at least report on the traffic at Casa Watts last night:
We had about 20 groups of trick or treaters, totaling about 50 kids.
Interesting statistics: - 86% not from our neighborhood - 12% teenagers, of which half were collecting canned goods for the Nashville Rescue Mission rather than candy (and really... they didn't even take any of the offered candy.) A marvelous idea for really-you're-too-old kids to transition out of Halloween. Kudos to Tusculum Cumberland Presbyterian Church - they were the ones who sent their junior high kids out (accompanied by an adult.) - 12% kids who didn't comply with the request to "take one please" - 8% unaccompanied tweenies - 2% Superman back for candy three times - 2% dressed-up skinny guy in his mid-40s with no accompanying kids... skeevy... glad Lydia was not at the door for that one.
