the great halloween dilemma

it happens every year...the great Halloween dilemma. No, I am not talking about what to dress up as. I am talking about the conversation I over-heard in Target today. I am standing in front of the candy display, with the intention of buying 2 bags of candy. One to put in a bowl outside my apartment for little ghosts and goblins in my building, and one for Chuck and George's apartment--because really, they aren't going to go buy candy for the kids in their complex on their own. A woman was standing next to me talking on her cell phone, and out of her mouth come the words that all of us are thinking. "So honey, do I buy the crappy candy because it's cheaper or do I buy the good stuff because I know not many kids are going to come by and we're going to end up eating it ourselves anyway?" Ahhh the question of the day. The answer is the good stuff--always go for the good stuff. My choice this year: mini baby ruths and starbursts. And really, next year, I am not going alone to make this choice--it took way too long and involved way too many mind-changes :)
