HALLOWEEN ETIQUETTE

Here are some tips for tween and teen trick- or- treaters:

Banging on doors when the lights are out and the jack- o’- lantern has been extinguished may annoy parents who are trying to get young children to bed.

Pranks are not OK. Smashing pumpkins may seem harmless, but the little kids who find their jack- o’- lantern flattened on the roadway the next morning are likely to be upset.

Set a good example for younger monsters. Don’t rush the door or trample through people’s gardens, and remember to say thanks!
