What I taught my kids about Halloween

In a couple of my classes this week we talked about Halloween. I tried to explain some of the candy in America, much of which was incomprehensible to them. In most classes, someone asked me what "Trick or Treat" meant. I tried to explain that treat was the same as candy and trick was something you do if they don't give you a treat. They persisted to ask what kind of trick, which caught me completely off guard, so I said you would throw toilet paper over their house. I even drew picture of toilet paper covering trees.

If I see toilet papered houses this weekend, I might call in sick next week.
