It's that time of year again, where kids use to be excited about trick or treating and dressing up scary/cute and having fun. Now when I was a kid that was true. The whole of October I would plan my outfit for that one night and get more and more excited about going out trick or treating. Same with my oldest brother (younger than me) and for some time my youngest brother. But when I tried to get an answer from my youngest brother seeing if he needed anything picking up for Halloween ( I work in town so its easy to pick up stuff for him) he said he ain't doing anything and its just a day. OMG what happened? I thought you just think this way when you get to adult stage and even then it gets more fun drinking on Halloween with mates, the Halloween parties that mates or family throw.
Now I was thinking about the last time I went trick or treating and it then was going down hill. Not that many people accepted it only the lovely old ladies that lived around the area. Not many people wanted the hassle. Which OK I understand but its a night for the kids at the end of the day and people have ruined it. I live in flats and I want to do trick or treat. I want to see little kids dressed scary knocking on my door so I can go omg soo cute and give them sweets. Yes that sounds really bad but its a right of passage. That's what happened to me when I was a kid and I dont have kids myself yet but I would like to, to share all things Halloween and fun. It seems to me that there isn't much left for kids to do now a days. It seems that the whole word 'fun' doesn't get used anymore. Has everyone forgot how to have fun now they have grown up? Or do they just think HA your childhood is ruined now. I just dont understand how the world has changed so much. Now I am only 23 years old and I already feel how my great grandma felt, or even my nan. They always said their childhood was better in their time. The world was friendlier, happier, more helpful, you respected each other and helped when needed, you cared about each other and spent time together. Now I completely understand what my nan means. I was a 90's kid. I great up when technology was just coming out. I got my first mobile phone in 2008. Yea that was only 9 years ago. Now I see kids with mobiles that came out last month as young as 5. 5! I didn't have a laptop until 2010 and that was just for my studies. Wasn't allowed to play games, didn't have a game console (it was the mothers we weren't allowed on it). Now this all started because in work I asked a young girl was she excited for halloween. Bare in mind she was looking at the halloween range we do in work and she was about 10 shopping with her mum. Her mother turns round and said ' nah she thinks its all silly' I was shocked. They were there shopping for her mums halloween outfit as she was going to a friends party. I got talking to the mum of this child about how halloween was when we were younger and she agreed with me that today its gone poo. I just wish children had what we had as kids. We had so much more than just technolgy and I am glad I was born when I did. I can see both sides and be thankful for what I did have to what I have now. Where younger people just dont get it. I know I sound old in this rant ish post but its all what I feel. I just wish things where still as good as I had it but with todays great inventions. Anyway I will see you all in the next post and let me know if you have any good halloween stories? Missdoomie Comments are closed.
