Which brings me to a question I've wanted terribly to ask some people; how about you guys?
So my math prof has been emailing us all week about how we can take this week's math test "before or after we go trick-or-treating." It seemed like oddly specific wording, but I didn't think much of it (only to find out yesterday that unlike every other test she's assigned, this one CAN ONLY be taken today. But that's another post that I don't have time to make right now, and no one wants to hear anyway)
My question is: while obviously I in my late thirties with no children am not going to be trick or treating, in what possible decade are traditionally college-aged people going to be doing it? Has that ever been a thing?
(I mean, maybe it's a thing in the tiny cow town my college is actually in, which makes me extra glad that I didn't move there because if it's that weird about Halloween, who knows what else it's weird about in strange and offputting ways.)
It just seems really, really obvious to me that trick or treating is a thing you either do as a child or with children, and not otherwise. If other people have different points of view I'd be interested to hear about them.
