Halloween, the perfect way to confuse your children.
Ok so lets get this straight because I am a bit confused...
I tell my kids not to talk to strangers, not to take anything from strangers and definitely not to eat anything a stranger gives you.
Right, that sounds pretty normal.
Then this halloween I went trick or treating with the kids and what did we do? We knocked on doors of complete strangers and we asked them to give us something to eat.
This got me thinking something is wrong here - no wonder so many people go into psychotherapy.
"Well I can see why you were conflicted as a child..."
But then when I really started to look at it, I realised ut wasn't just halloween. It was almost everywhere.
When I take my kids to the shops I talk to complete strangers.
And then I take something from them and I even give them some of my money.
But worst of all, if I go to a restaurant with the kids, we all take food from a complete stranger, eat it and give him more money than he even asked for!
