> [@Avarie537](#): > > I have never gotten change for Halloween! It’s something I only read about in books as a child. I didn’t realize it was such a widespread practice. We just had those annoying old ladies who gave pencils when we were kids. My mom did this one year ☹ In fact, she even had me go through and count out ten cents in pennies and put them in baggies and tie a little ribbon around it- making the whole affair mortifying on a couple of levels. ---

My dad used to give out pennies only in desperation if we ran out of candy. But in his defense he did buy really good candy. ---

Durrrrr, _Halloween_ for the scary movie! It took me forever to choose between the hat and the broomstick. Hat/broom? Hat/broom? Somewhere in the depths of my reptilian high school brain was the witches scene from MacBeth (thank you, Tengu) with “newt” being the sum of my recollection. If one eye is good, the whole newt is better, right? ---
