I got really ticked off tonight. The bell rang about 7:30. DD answered it and it was a group of kids her age (14) who had already come by earlier in the evening. I opened the door and held out the bowl and said, "Weren't you guys here already?" They said yes as two of the kids reached in and took a huge handful of candy, nearly emptying the bowl. Bad enough they were coming back for the 2nd time but being rude and greedy about it was totally over the edge, so I said that was enough and pulled the bowl back and shut the door. One of the other kids, who was talking on his cell phone, complained that he didn't get any, so I just told him to get his friends to share since they had taken so much and then I closed the house door. I waited a minute and then locked up and turned off the lights so nobody else would come by. I had had enough.
