My 15-year-old wants to go trick or treating with friends from school. He was on the football team but in general does not do anything with friends, just football and youth group at church. So, I'd like him to have fun and do things with others outside of school....but just not trick-or-treating at his age.
He thinks since they are friends from the "gifted" program and they are going in a safe neighborhood, that it should be OK. I keep telling him, you have no idea what they will do when out in the night/dark, just because they're smart doesnt mean they'll make good choices. And that they are ALL too old for trick-or-treating, it is for little kids.
Sigh. I'm going to be dealing with a grumpy teen all weekend.
