Prepare Older Kids for Halloween FunHomeAs you help your youngsters make preparations for their costumes and trick-or-treating, don't forget your older, no-longer-cute-enough-to-trick-or-treat teenagers. Especially if they're not old enough to drive yet. Even though they aren't able to go get candy anymore, they will long for the thrill of the crisp October air. Since it is most likely that you and your teenagers are drifting apart, and they are going to make mischief anyway, why not take the opportunity to win their confidence and aid them in their efforts.
If you really want to go all out, prepare a Halloween for Teenagers Kit. It should include:
Don't let this supreme opportunity escape you. Let your older ones know you love them, and you understand. As they run breathless back to your home and beg you to hide them from the authorities, you can share a knowing smile and a wink! Happy Halloween...

Surprise your teenager by presenting him or her with a dozen eggs that you placed next to the water heater in August. Explain to them that the extra aging will make an especially unbearable smell when they are thrown on your neighbors' cars. Also delight them with a black ninja suit. Even though they can't trick-or-treat, they can still wear a costume... And of course, it has the added benefit of hiding them in the dark night as they run from irate homeowners and police.
