Tonight we went to our neighborhood Mexican restaurant for dinner, Mezcal, where they had a really neat Day of the Dead alter set up, along with the usual Halloween decorations of ghosts, spiderwebs and pumpkins. Now, trick or treating for kids down here means going into stores and restaurants, so at the end of our meal this group of about six kids comes barrelling in and charges straight for the candy bucket on the bar. The waiter comes rushing over saying "wait a minute!" and starts handing out the candy. One of the kids says "You didn't give any to the baby! Give it to me and I'll give it to the baby!" and the waiter is like, "um, I DID give some to the baby..." Meanwhile, "the baby" is getting shoved around like a pinball against bumpers amongst the kids, basically a front for these kids without costumes to get candy. So then the biggest kid comes over to our table and starts saying "chips and dip! chips and dip!" Then all the other kids over to our table and are just standing around (we were the only people there). I keep asking what her "costume"is and she doesn't say anything, then she just looks at George and says "I-eeet??" and George looks at her and says "I-eeet?" and she backs off and they all leave, but not before grabbing handfuls of matches and toothpicks that were near the door. On the way home we passed a bunch of teenage boys who looked maybe 14 or 15 in big oversized suits and the woman whom they were getting candy from asked what they were, and one kid pipes up and says "We're Enron investors!"
